Plantar Fasciitis: Prevention [Clinical Review Discussion]
Thursday, July 08, 2010 12:22 PM
( permalink)
Medline, CINHAL and MANTIS searches relating to prevention of Plantar fasciitis (PF) returned only a handful of references. Plantar fasciitis is a common condition which is responsible for 1% of all visits to orthopedic surgeons (1). It is known for its recalcitrant nature and lengthy recovery time. One study found at the 4 year follow-up, after conservative care, 82% of patients eventually become asymptomatic and 15% remain symptomatic without limitations (2). Considering the prevalence and long term morbidity of PF, it is surprising the scientific literature has such limited information on prevention.
