Ultrasound-Guided Plantar Fascia Release: Anatomic Evaluation of the Accuracy and Safety in Cadaveric Specimens
Introduction: With improvements in the performance of ultrasound equipment, minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery has been reported in recent years. Ultrasound-guided plantar fascia release (UGPFR) represents a novel surgical technique for refractory plantar fasciitis. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and safety of UGPFR using fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens.
