Abstract
The authors review the etiologies and treatments of plantar fasciitis or heel spur syndrome. They offer results of a retrospective study. Comparison of the return to work time after surgery for this condition, examinations of the effects of patient age at the time of surgery, gender, duration of pain prior to surgery, and type of surgical procedure, either endoscopic plantar fasciotomy or open plantar fasciotomy with heel spur resection, is provided.
