“…Pain was most effectively treated with ICS in the first 3 months, and was treated by SWT for the first 6 months. Notably, at the 36-month follow-up, there was no difference in VAS score among the four groups from before treatment, indicating that no treatment option produced long-term improvement in outcome [39].…”

“…Plantar fasciitis is characterized by heel pain due to tissue degeneration along the plantar fascia as a result of biomechanical overuse [38][39][40]. The prevalence is approximately 10% of the population, with an increased incidence in the middle aged, the elderly, and runners [41].…”

“…Comparison of these conflicting results indicates that there is still significant ambiguity regarding the extent and duration of effects of each therapy. ICS, PRP, and SWT have all been reported as safe with side effects limited to brief erythema or throbbing pain at the therapy site [38,39,46,47,49]. Studies have shown that PRP is associated with decreased requirement for reinjection or surgery in the long term and positive effects on soft tissue regeneration and inflammation reduction, but its higher cost must also be considered when choosing a treatment [38,45].…”

Injection Techniques for Common Chronic Pain Conditions of the Foot: A Comprehensive Review

et al. 2020

Purpose of Review: This is a comprehensive literature review of the available evidence and techniques of foot injections for chronic pain conditions. It briefly describes common foot chronic pain syndromes and then reviews available injection techniques for each of these syndromes, weighing the available evidence and comparing the available approaches. Recent Findings: Foot and ankle pain affects 20% of the population over 50 and significantly impairs mobility and ability to participate in activities of daily living (ADLs), as well as increases fall risk. It is commonly treated with costly surgery, at times with questionable efficacy. Injection therapy is challenging when the etiology is anatomical or compressive. Morton's neuroma is a budging of the interdigital nerve.

“…As regard to the relation between presence of subcalaneal heel spur in X-Ray and the results, there was no statistical significance with p=0.134 which agrees with Jiménez-Pérez et al, [17] who illustrated that the presence of calcaneal spurs were not connected with plantar fasciitis and were considered incidental findings. Also, Ugurlar et al, [21] elucidated that the plain radiographs may show the heel spurs but US findings support the diagnosis when the plantar fascia is thickened (>4 to 4.5mm) and hypoechoic.…”

Background: Chronic plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of foot complaints making up to 11-15% of the foot symptoms requiring professional care among adults. Also, it is a common problem that affects sport participants as well as inactive middle-aged individuals. Many modalities of treatment were prescribed to relieve the symptoms such as rest, Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), bracing, physical therapy and corticosteroid injection. Newer treatment modalities have been tried, such as extracorporeal shock wave treatment, iontophoresis, and injection of botulism toxin. In case of lack of response to conservative treatment, the last resort is surgery with the primary objective of relieving pain. One novel treatment strategy is the use of local injection of platelet rich plasma. These platelets release a large proportion of biologically active growth factors that are thought to accelerate and improve the regeneration and healing process.

“…Research studies on the PF and classification of PCS had a long tradition [2,13,15], but there were little about the relationship between PCS and PF in Chinese population. Some research studies suggested that PF should be a degenerative disease or fascia disease rather than an inflammatory disease [10].…”

Plantar heel pain is a common disease with a high incidence in different races. It significantly reduced the quality of life of patients. However, the cause of PHP is still controversial and there were varieties of physiological factors associated with PHP. The most common pathological factor in the population was plantar fasciitis. Some existing research studies had found a correlation between calcaneal spurs and plantar fasciitis, and this study had found the correlation in Chinese population. It is invaluable not only to understand the relationship between different types of plantar calcaneal spurs and plantar fasciitis but also to identify the most appropriate treatment strategies. A total of 71 patients with calcaneal spurs were chosen from the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Southwest Medical University. All 71 patients had completed X-rays and MRI scans; then, surgeons had removed their plantar calcaneal spurs. After surgery, all patients were followed up for 12 months; their prognosis was tested by the VAS and AOFAS scores. Type II (29, 40.8%) had the highest incidence in Chinese population, followed with type I (24, 33.8%) and type III (18, 25.4%). Preoperative VAS scores showed that type II (7.72±1.10) was significantly higher than the other two types (P<0.001). Postoperative VAS scores of type II were higher than those of type I and type III (P<0.001). Postoperative AOFAS scores of type II were the lowest (P<0.001). Researchers had proved that type II was more likely to cause PF.
