Abstract
Plantar fasciitis is common condition causing severe plantar pain, and the its rst classical striking symptoms and signs are severe plantar pain tenderness of the rst few steps after awakening and causing gait difculty. The early clinical, sonography and laboratory diagnosis conrmation parameters will denitely help in preventing complex plantar fasciitis and its chronicity leading to degeneration, fasciosis and sequalae. The key nding in sonovascular imaging incudes measurement of plantar fascia thickness, echogenicity vascularity and reactive uid. plantar fascial thichkness in mean normal is 0.25 cm and mean abnormal is 0.6 cm suggesting thickness. Above 0.25 cm with associated clinical ndings is signicant and the planning of treatment depends on stage of disease proving the early diagnosis has denite important role in prognosis and follow-up . Aim: To detect and diagnose and establish the Plantar fasciitis. Objectives: Primary objective: Early detection of plantar fasciitis for early intervention in management and preventing the chronicity and its sequelae. Secondary objective: Utilising the signs and symptoms and conrming with sonography, vascular doppler imaging and laboratory data about plantar fasciitis. Site of the study: Department of internal medicine, Department of Radiology and Department of orthopaedics, Apollo Hospitals, Greams road, Chennai-600006. Study period: March 2021 to March 2022 Inclusion criteria: Patients with early morning plantar pain and-clinically suspicious plantar facial minor repitative injury with and with out history of co morbidities.
