Plantar fascitis. Comparative study between 3 therapeutic schemes.
Abstract
Introduction: Plantar fasciitis, described for the first time by Plettner, is the most common cause of heel pain. In the etiology of this pathology under study, involved anatomical factors such as shortening of plantar flexion and related to weight gain. Although the current treatment does not exist in the current literature, the early start of conservative treatment has been recommended. The objective of the present study is to compare 3 treatment methods of plantar fasciitis. Material and Methods: Between March 2016 and March 2017, 90 patients with plantar fasciitis were treated. They were divided into 3 groups based on the treatment performed. Group A: plantar fascia elongation exercises, Group B: anesthetic cortical infiltration and elongation exercises of plantar fascia and Group C: infiltration with saline solution and elongation exercises of plantar fascia.Results: Comparative results are mentioned based on age, affected side, previous pathologies, foot shape, previous foot surgeries, post infiltration pain, analogous visual scale Group A: 0.73 Group B: 1.03 Group C: 2.7 and return time a previous activity Group A: 19.1 days Group B: 12.63 days Group C: 15.12 days.Conclusions: Our study shows that the three treatments for PF are effective, seeing a recovery in less time to patients treated with anesthetic cortical infiltration with a low number of complications but no long-term differences.Downloads
