Comparison between radial and focused types of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy in plantar calcaneal spur: A randomized sham-controlled trial. Both radial and focused types of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) have been used in patients with plantar calcaneal spur (PCS). However, no study has yet addressed the comparative effects of these treatments on the condition. Considering radial and focused waves are different from each other, their effectiveness may also be different in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of radial and focused types of ESWT on PCS. Ninety-nine patients with plantar calcaneal spur were randomised into three groups according to ESWT types: focused, radial, and sham. ESWT was applied as three sessions, with 2-4 days intervals

Bizarre calcaneal spur: A case report A calcaneal spur, also known as enthesophyte, is an abnormal bone outgrowth at the inferior part of the calcaneus, which is the most common site of bony spur occurrence. Although there is consensus that a calcaneal spur is a common cause of heel pain, approximately 20% of calcaneal spurs are asymptomatic and its pathology remains not fully understood . In this report, we present a rare case of a very large and bizarre calcaneal spur in a young adult man. The calcaneal spur was painful, which affected his foot function and was associated with plantar fasciitis. The spur length was measured in the radiograph and exhibited the longest calcaneal spur reported in the literature. The patient was treated conservatively, and he fully recovered his foot function

The age dependent change in the incidence of calcaneal spur The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between the calcaneal spur incidence and age, gender and side. Lateral ankle X-rays of 1335 patients (550 (41.2%) females and 758 (58.8) males; mean age: 46.5 ± 13.5 years) who referred to our hospital because of trauma were reviewed. Incidence of plantar calcaneal spur , posterior calcaneal spur and association of such incidences with age, gender and side were all evaluated. Incidences of plantar calcaneal spur and posterior calcaneal spur were detected as 32.2% (male: 31%, female: 34%) and 13.1% (male: 11%, female: 16%), respectively. Incidence of plantar calcaneal spur increased by age whereas there was not any association with gender and location. The highest incidence

Evaluation Of Balance And Ankle Proprioception In Calcaneal Spur Patients this study will be conducted to investigate the difference in balance and ankle proprioception between calcaneus spur patients and age matched normal subjects A calcaneal spur, also known as enthesophyte, is an abnormal bone outgrowth at the inferior part of the calcaneus, which is the most common site of bony spur occurrence. Although there is consensus that a calcaneal spur is a common cause of heel pain, approximately 20% of calcaneal spurs are asymptomatic and its pathology remains not fully understood.Ankle Joint Position Sense (JPS) refers to the ability to accurately perceive and reproduce the position of the ankle joint in space. Balance, on the other hand, encompasses the ankle joint's positional stability

Effects of Kinesio Taping and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in the Calcaneal Spur The term \"heel pain\" is used to describe a common, painful condition that is localized in the plantar part of the heel and worsens when weight is placed on the heel. Patients with heel pain are more likely to have thickened plantar fascia, abnormal plantar fascia tissue, thicker plantar heel fat pad , and calcaneal spur. Calcaneal spurs are bony protrusions that typically occur just in front of the medial calcaneal tuberosity. Systemic medical treatments, physical therapy agents, exercise and local injections are often applied for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spur. This study is to examine the effects of ESWT and kinesio taping on pain and other clinical outcomes in patients

Posterior Tibial Nerve PRF vs Intralesional RFT for Painful Calcaneal Spur and Plantar Fasciitis This study aims to compare the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided posterior tibial nerve pulsed radiofrequency (PTN PRF) and fluoroscopy (FL)-guided intralesional radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) for the treatment of painful calcaneal spur and plantar fasciitis refractory to conservative treatments. For this evaluation, a numerical rating (NRS) and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle hindfoot scores will be used before and after both interventions. Painful calcaneal spurs (PCS) and plantar fasciitis (PF) are common foot conditions affecting approximately 10-15% of the population. These conditions can cause severe heel pain and disability, affecting the patients

A comparative analysis of analgesic efficacy of ultrasound and shock wave therapy in the treatment of patients with inflammation of the attachment of the plantar fascia in the course of calcaneal spurs. Troublesome heel spur is a nuisance condition that affects people of all ages. Treatment of patients with heel spur is a difficult and lengthy process requiring patience from both the patient and the therapist. Sometimes, the only and ultimate method of treatment is surgery, although spurs tend to recur. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound and shock wave therapy in patients with heel spur. The cause of pain in the course of calcaneal spur is inflammation of the attachment of the plantar fascia, which plays an important role in the process of walking

Subtalar Joint Instability and Calcaneal Spurs Associated with the Configuration of the Articular Facets of Adult Human Calcaneum in Indian Population Morphological variations of articular facets of calcaneum may predispose people to joint instability, ligamentous laxity and development of arthritic changes in the subtalar joint. Knowledge of such variations is essential for treatment and diagnostic procedures in orthopaedic surgeries. The aim of this study was to determine patterns of articular facets of calcanei and to establish its correlation with calcaneal spurs. The study was conducted on 580 adult calcanei of Indian origin at Maulana Azad Medical College and pattern of articular facets were observed and classified according to five patterns described in literature.
