X-ray comparison before and after Calcaneal spur removal. (a) Preoperative X-ray shows a prominent bone spur beneath the calcaneus (indicated by the red arrow). (b) Postoperative X-ray shows that the bone spur has been removed, the plantar bony prominence has disappeared, and the bony struc...
Aplantar calcaneal spuris an outgrowth from the bone at the back of the foot known as the calcaneus. This outgrowth is the cause of severe discomfort on the sole of the foot (plantar surface) and pain and is commonly known as heel spur pain. These spurs may develop over a long period ...
This study provides structural evidence for a morphological connection between the AT and PF via the highly aligned calcaneal trabeculae of the posterior calcaneus. The AT-calcaneus-PF complex was biomechanically mapped to allow for an assessment of its site-dependent mechanical characteristics....
Physical examination reveals tenderness of the plantar fascia, pain with calcaneal compression, and limited flexibility of the Achilles tendon. Radiographs and bone scan are indicated to rule out stress fractures. Radiographs are indicated to rule out pressure-aggravated heel spur. Treatment goals are ...
Plantar fasciitis. Lateral plain radiograph shows PF thickening (double-head arrow), a calcaneal spur located within the PF (open arrow) and another spur at the origin of intrinsic muscles of the foot (arrow); cortical irregularities of the calcaneus with sclerotic changes are also seen (a). ...
