Abstract
The authors have developed an endoscopic approach to a plantar fasciotomy. This technique would minimize the surgical trauma that is normally induced with a conventional type of heel spur surgery. The authors believe that this new technique will provide an earlier return to normal ambulation, less loss of work, and earlier, overall increased patient comfort.
