Historically, plantar fasciitis was associated with heel spurs, which were considered to be bony growth resulting from the pull of the plantar fascia.However, further studies have shown that a plantar heel spur does not indicate plantar fasciitis. The size of the calcaneal heel spur has no correl...
1 It denotes a clinical condition of pain in the plantar aspect of the heel, characteristically worse on arising in the morning and after periods of prolonged sitting.2 There is maximal tenderness at the plantar fascial origin on the medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity, and pain increases...
However, it may be premature to completely dismiss the significance of plantar calcaneal spurs. Spurs are probably more painful and problematic when other tissue X factors are present, but those factors can and will also cause plantar fasciitis symptoms with or without a heel spur in the equation...
Background: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of intralesional pulsed radiofrequency (RF) in the treatment of calcaneal spur and the results of patients who underwent single and double sessions of RF treatment. Methods: The population of this retrospective study consisted of 460 patients...

Plantar fasciitis is characterized by pain on the inferomedial aspect of the calcaneus. The pain is usually worst when taking the first steps in the morning and when getting up after rest. In most cases, it slowly subsides with activity becoming a dull ache but worsens as the activity becom...
Calcaneal spur Full size image A sensitivity analysis of the two studies that used blinded assessors was conducted (PHPn= 129, controln= 319). Compared with the overall analysis (presented above), the sensitivity analysis of studies that used blinded assessors found greater odds of having ...
Plantar fasciosis, sometimes known as calcaneal spur syndrome or calcaneal enthesopathy, can involve stretching, tearing, and degeneration of the plantar fascia at its attachment site. In some cases, heel pain at this attachment site may be caused by other health problems, including certain types...
findings of this study suggest that changes within the fascia, rather than the spur, are primarily responsible for the pathogenesis of the syndrome." And "not in any case the calcaneal [heel] spur found [by X-ray] induces pain or tenderness. ... Results of the surgical removal of the ...
