Surgery for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis

Surgery for plantar fasciitis is often a good solution to get rid of this nasty problem. Let’s take a closer look together at the main causes of plantar fasciitis and the various methods used to treat it.

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot pathology that causes severe pain in the heel and arch of the foot. This discomfort is caused by micro-tears in the plantar fascia, a ligament that supports the arch of the foot.
