Plantar Fascia Release
Plantar Fascia Release Surgery in Hawaii
Plantar fascia release is a surgical procedure used to treat recalcitrant plantar fasciitis that has failed prolonged non-surgical treatment.
The procedure reduces tension in the plantar fascia to relieve chronic heel pain.
How Surgery Is Performed
Plantar fascia release involves partially releasing the plantar fascia near its attachment to the heel bone, either through an open or minimally invasive technique.
Goals of surgery include:
Reducing tension on the plantar fascia
Relieving chronic heel pain
Improving walking tolerance
Preserving arch stability
Recovery After Surgery
Recovery focuses on controlled healing and gradual return to activity.
Typical recovery progression includes:
Short period of protected weight bearing
Gradual progression to full weight bearing as tolerated
Physical therapy focused on stretching, strengthening, and gait mechanics
Return to normal activities over several weeks
Risks and Considerations
Risks include persistent pain, arch instability, nerve irritation, or incomplete symptom relief. Partial release is typically performed to reduce these risks.
