Ultrasound evaluation of plantar fasciitis

To investigate the sonographic features of plantar fasciitis (PF). High-resolution ultrasound was used to measure the thickness and echogenicity of the proximal plantar fascia and associated heel pad thickness for 102 consecutive patients with PF (unilateral: 81, bilateral: 21) and 33 control subjec...

Zusammenfassung:	To investigate the sonographic features of plantar fasciitis (PF). High-resolution ultrasound was used to measure the thickness and echogenicity of the proximal plantar fascia and associated heel pad thickness for 102 consecutive patients with PF (unilateral: 81, bilateral: 21) and 33 control subjects. The mean thickness of the plantar fascia was greater on the symptomatic side for patients with bilateral and unilateral PF than on the asymptomatic side for patients with unilateral PF, and also control subjects (5.47+/-1.09, 5.61+/-1.19, 3.83+/-0.72, 3.19+/-0.43 mm, respectively, p
