Instep Plantar Fasciotomy With and Without Gastrocnemius Recession

Plantar Fasciitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Surgical Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis: Instep Plantar Fasciotomy With and Without Gastrocnemius Recession

Clinical Trial Summary

Compare results of Instep Plantar Fascial release with and without gastrocnemius recession

Clinical Trial Description

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Approximately 2 million Americans seek treatment for plantar fasciitis every year, with 10% of the population developing plantar fasciitis over a lifetime. The vast majority of cases respond to conservative care; however, the 5-10% of cases that are recalcitrant to conservative measures may require surgical intervention. Several surgical options do exist and are cited in the literature for treatment of recalcitrant plantar fasciitis. One such approach is the instep plantar fascial release, utilizing an approximately 2-3 cm plantar incision over the prominent fascial band, just distal to the fat pad of the heel. It has been demonstrated that many patients with plantar fasciitis also have an isolated contracture of the gastrocnemius, known as gastrocnemius equinus. Gastrocnemius recession is performed to correct an isolated gastrocnemius contracture and recent studies have demonstrated its successful use in the treatment of recalcitrant foot pain. To date, no prospective studies exist examining the utilization of the gastrocnemius recession in combination with instep plantar fascial release in the treatment of recalcitrant plantar fasciitis. This prospective randomized trial will aim to compare the use of instep plantar fasciotomy both with and without gastrocnemius recession in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. ;
