不常見位置之足底筋膜病變：兩病例報告

Abstract

Plantar fasciopathy is a common problem in the general population involving the proximal area of the central cord of the plantar aponeurosis. Few studies have discussed plantar fasciopathy distal to the calcaneus. In article reviewarticles, plantar fasciopathy distal to the calcaneus occurred in only 12% of the cases. In the casereport, including two cases in which fasciopathy were involved in the central part of the plantar fascia, the incidence was obviously less than that mentioned above. These two cases were atypical diseases of plantar fasciopathy over the plantar arch. They both received one to several sessions of prolotherapy, but no significant effect was observed. After changing to steroid injection on just one occasion, the symptoms subsided quickly. Furthermore, flatfoot was noted as a risk factor, so arch support to correct biomechanical deficits is a reasonable suggestion to prevent the recurrence of plantar fasciopathy. A brief literature reviewarticle found many studies discussing typical plantar fasciopathy over the proximal calcaneus; however, few studies have discussed the atypical disease of plantar fasciopathy. We present the clinical course of these two cases and provide some practical examples for clinicians.
