Interventions

PROCEDURE

Chronic plantar fasciitis endoscopic debridement coupled with heel spur resection

1. Preoperative Preparation: popliteal nerve block, patient positioning supine with the operated limb fully externally rotated, spinal anesthesia, tourniquet application. 2. Surgical Procedure: * Initial Marking from the heel bone arch to the calcaneal bone to locate the entry point. * First Incision and Portal Creation: an initial incision at the palpated site using a size 11 blade; blunt dissection to reveal the plantar fascia; arthroscope entry. * Secondary Entry: 3 cm distally from the initial incision; positioning of the arthroscope; additional blunt dissection and obturator insertion. * Operative Technique: continuous irrigation with sterile saline; 3.5-mm shaver introduced through the distal portal; meticulous debridement of inflamed and pathological tissue; removal of calcaneal spurs; thinning of the plantar fascia 3. Postoperative Care • Careful monitoring and guided rehabilitation to support optimal healing and recovery.
