What is Plantar Fascia Release?
Plantar fascia release is an outpatient surgical procedure that releases a painful plantar fascia tendon and relieves plantar fasciitis symptoms. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about one hour. The procedure may be performed arthroscopically or as an open procedure depending upon the specific area and severity of the injury.
Steps of the procedure typically include:
First, an incision is made on the sole of the foot
Next, the tight plantar fascia is carefully cut and released
Last, the incision is carefully closed and sterilely dressed
