About this trial

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of planter displacement calcaneal osteotomy for intractable plantar fasciosis by decreasing the tension of the plantar fascia around the calcaneal attachment while keeping the plantar fascia intact.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All adult patients with age range from 18 to 65 years with unilateral or bilateral planter fasciosis after clinical and radiological diagnosis confirmation, who failed conservative treatment for at least 6 months or recurrent cases.

MRI & US proof of planter fasciosis showing thickness of planter fascia >4mm

Disqualifiers

All other causes of heel pain including polyneuropathy, planter fascia rupture, seronegative arthropathies, rheumatoid arthritis in bilateral cases, abscess or neoplasm affecting the soft tissue, and bone occult fracture or infection.

Age groups below 18 years old and above 65 years old.

Plantar fasciosis cases having pes planus with diffuse foot pain not only localized to the planter fascia origin (the medial tubercle of the calcaneus - a bony prominence on the inferomedial aspect of the calcaneus).

Diabetic patients

Time frame
6 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

VAS

Pain assessment measured pre \& post-operative by VAS (Visual Analog Scale) at 12 months

Time frame
12 months
2

Foot pressure

Foot pressure measurement pre \& post-operative

Time frame
12 months
