Abstract
This retrospective study analyzes satisfaction of patients who had undergone an isolated endoscopic plantar fasciotomy (EPF) between January 1994 and January 1997. A subjective survey was completed and returned by 53 patients (a total of 69 feet), and a chart review was performed to determine final outcome. Postoperative follow-up averaged 7.2 months (range, 4-42 months). Postoperative pain levels were scored on a 7-point scale at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months. Forty-three patients (81.1%) were satisfied with the EPF procedure and 10 patients (18.9%) were unsatisfied.
