Calcaneal Osteotomy for Intractable Plantar Fasciitis

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to clarify the efficacy of plantar displacement calcaneal osteotomy for intractable plantar fasciitis by decreasing the tension of the plantar fascia around the calcaneal attachment while keeping the plantar fascia intact and comparing it with the plantar fascia release in pain control, job return and foot arch preservation.

Clinical Trial Description

Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of heel pain accounting for 15% of all foot symptoms requiring medical care and 1% of patient visits to orthopaedic surgeons in the United states. The diagnosis is straight forward; the challenge is finding an effective and economic first line treatment. The annual costs of plantar fasciitis are $284 million, that does not include opportunity cost from lost work and wages, societal burden, and psychologic burden. Histologic examination shows myxoid degeneration with fragmentation and degeneration of the plantar fascia and supports being a degenerative fasciitis without inflammation. Therefore, plantar fasciopathy is a more accurate descriptor. Treatment is largely nonoperative, with 85% to 90% of patients experiencing resolution of symptoms within 6-12 months. Partial or complete plantar fasciotomy, either open or endoscopic is indicated only for intractable cases with failed conservative treatment. Fascia release, being the main surgery, sometimes accompanied by complications, one of which is lateral column pain due to loss of the longitudinal arch height caused by the release of the plantar fascia with no consensus regarding the amount of the plantar fascia which should be released in order to relieve pain without causing lateral column pain. To avoid this complication, we need to study the efficacy of calcaneal osteotomy for the surgical treatment of PF. Does the calcaneal osteotomy is an effective alternative surgical treatment option compared to the standard plantar fascia release in cases of resistant PF? ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
