Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Conventional Conservative Treatment for Plantar Fasciopathia With Endoscopic Surgery With Fascial Release.
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating endoscopic surgery, methylprednisolon, and 2 other interventions for Plantar Fasciitis. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare in a randomized controlled trial the effect of endoscopic operation with the standard conservative treatmentprotocol with training supplemented with 1-3 injections of glucocorticoids in patients with chronic plantar fasciopathia.

Timeline
Interventions
Through 2 portals profound for the fascia plantaris (deep-fascial) lateral and medial a heel-spur will be resected and the medial half of the fascia is released from its attachment to the calcaneus. A mikroskopic X-ray sensitive pearle (Tantalum-pearle) will be inserted in the fascia in the proximal end of the distal part of the remaining fascia for measuring distance (resorbtion). Three weeks after operation, the patients are instructed to start a specific training program. Training is supervised every third week by a physiotherapist (week 3,6,9,12 after operation), and daily training is carried out at home. Sutures are removed after 10 days,
1ml methylprednisolon is mixed with 1ml of Lidocain and injected underneath the plantar fascia as close to the medial attachment on calcaneus as possible
1ml methylprednisolon is mixed with 1ml of Lidocain and injected underneath the plantar fascia as close to the medial attachment on calcaneus as possible
the patient is instructed in reduction in impact. strength training 3 times weekly and stretching exercises daily are recommended.
