Comparative Effectiveness of Ultrasound‐Guided Corticosteroid Injection, Radiofrequency Ablation, and Their Combination for Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Both CI and RFA are effective in recalcitrant PF, but their combination provides superior and more durable improvements in pain, function, and fascia morphology, with the lowest relapse rates. Ultrasound-guided combined therapy suggests a safe, practical, and effective treatment option for patients unresponsive to conservative measures.
