Abstract
Plantar fasciopathy is a painful, degenerative condition of the plantar fascia that affects 2 million people annually and has an estimated 10% lifetime prevalence. When both nonoperative and operative management fails, patients have limited therapeutic options. We present a case of an active 47-year-old male runner who was successfully treated with songraphically guided percutaneous ultrasonic fasciotomy after undergoing a prolonged course of nonoperative management and an endoscopic plantar fascia release procedure. Percutaneous ultrasonic fasciotomy may be considered in patients with chronic, refractory plantar fasciopathy, including those for whom a prior operative release procedure has failed.
