Treatment of persistent plantar heel pain by calcaneal osteotomy

ABSTRACT

Twenty-five patients with 28 feet suffering from persistent plantar heel pain [plantar fasciitis calcaneal spur syndrome], with average age of 39.5 years, were treated by calcaneal osteotomy, and approached the medial side of the heel. The late results, after a follow up period of 2 years in average, were satisfactory in 25 feet [89.3%] and unsatisfactory in 3 feet [10.7%]
