Abstract:
Objective:To examine the clinical effect of all-inside endoscopic treatment of recalcitrant plantar fasciitis through two medial portals.
Methods:The recalcitrant plantar fasciitis data of 67 cases (79 feet) that underwent two medial portals all-inside endoscopic treatment at Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery, Xuzhou Central Hospital from October 2016 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 24 males (30 feet) and 43 females (49 feet) aged 44.3 years old(range:24-76 years).The mean disease duration from the specialist doctor intervention to operation was (23.7±11.0) months (range: 12-60 months). All the patients were treated with the two medial portals all-inside endoscopic procedure when the 6 months conservative treatment had failed.The endoscopic procedure including debridement and partial plantar fasciotomy.The clinical results,including pain,activity,gait and foot health quality,were scored using visual analogue pain scale (VAS),American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Ankle Hindfoot Scale (AOFAS) and SF-36.
Results:All the patients were followed up for (15.2±6.7) months (range: 12-24 months). All cases achieved primarily healing of the wound without postoperative complications of nerve,vessel and tendon.At the last follow-up,the VAS decreased from (5.3±2.0) preoperative to 0 prooperative (t=21.60, P=0.000), AOFAS increased from (72.6±9.4) to (97.3±4.6)(t=19.43,P=0.000),SF-36 increased from (93.6±8.4) to (119.1±7.3) (t=18.78, P=0.000), non-recurrent calcaneal spur, normal foot and ankle activity was recorded.
Conclusion:The two medial portals all-inside endoscopic procedure is effective for the treatment of recalcitrant plantar fasciitis.
