PLANTAR FASCITIS ENDOSCOPIC PLANTAR FASCIA RELEASE |
|
* Local steroid injections, stretching exercises and insoles play a major part in non surgical treatment and can control symptoms in most patients. * Surgery for this condition is rarely needed as the natural history is for a slow remission over a couple of years * Currently the surgical release is done through a single incision arthroscope assisted method which is a modification of the endoscopic method shown above. *This document is a general information sheet and is meant to be read in conjunction with a BOFA clinic consultation and is not meant for self diagnosis which could be harmful. *All surgical procedures have a small potential for complications and some are influenced by individual factors (severity of the deformity, blood circulation, obesity, diabetes, smoking etc). These will be discussed during the clinic consultation and noted in the consent form, a copy of which will be given to you. |
