In the September 1996 issue of the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, the authors published a retrospective review of their experiences with and results of plantar fasciotomy from 1992 through 1994. Since then, patients who underwent endoscopic plantar fasciotomy from 1994 through 1997 have been reviewed by utilizing materials and methods identical to those used in the original study. This article provides an update of the results of endoscopic plantar fasciotomy and compares them with the results described in the 1996 study.
