Comparison of endoscopic plantar fasciotomy and endoscopic partial fascia detachment in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis: a retrospective 1-year follow-up study
Clinical Scorecard: A Retrospective Study Evaluating Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy Versus Partial Fascia Detachment in Chronic Plantar Fasciitis Patients: One-Year Follow-Up Results
At a Glance
Category
Detail
Condition
Plantar Fasciitis
Key Mechanisms
Endoscopic plantar fasciotomy and partial fascia detachment as surgical interventions.
Target Population
Patients aged 45–65 years with refractory plantar fasciitis.
Care Setting
Single-center retrospective study
Key Highlights
Both surgical methods resulted in satisfactory postoperative outcomes.
Endoscopic plantar fasciotomy showed better functional improvement at 3 and 6 months.
No significant differences in age, disease duration, or operation time between groups.
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Diagnosis based on clinical history and response to conservative treatment.
Management
Consider surgical options for patients unresponsive to 12 months of conservative treatment.
Monitoring & Follow-up
Assess clinical outcomes using VAS, AOFAS, and SF-36 scores at multiple postoperative intervals.
Risks
Potential complications include skin issues, infections, and prolonged recovery.
Patient & Prescribing Data
Patients with refractory plantar fasciitis who have not responded to conservative treatments.
Endoscopic procedures provide quicker recovery and higher satisfaction compared to traditional surgery.
Clinical Best Practices
Utilize endoscopic techniques to minimize trauma and complications.
Evaluate patient outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery.
