Abstract
Background: Chron c heel pa n w th plantar fasc t s s relat vely common and can affect adults of all ages regardless of an act ve or sedentary l festyle. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect veness of cort costero d nject on (CSI), extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), and rad ofrequency thermal les on ng (RTL) treatments n chron c plantar heel pa n that has been
unrespons ve to other conservat ve treatments. Methods: We retrospect vely analyzed the results of 217 pat ents treated w th CSI (n= 73), ESWT (n= 75), and RTL (n= 69). The treatment eff cacy and pa n
ntens ty, as measured us ng the v sual analog scale, were recorded and compared at the 6-month follow-up. Results: Pa n ntens ty decreased s gn f cantly n all pat ents. However, t decreased s gn f cantly more n the CSI and RTL groups than n the ESWT group (P< .001). Age, sex, body mass ndex, calcaneal spur presence, and symptom durat on were s m lar among 3 groups (P> .05). No compl cat ons were noted after the CSI, ESWT, or RTL sess ons. Conclus on: CSI, ESWT, and RTL successfully treated chron c plantar heel pa n that d d not respond to other conservat ve treatments; however, CSI and RTL y elded better therapeut c outcomes.
