Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Release

A small medial portal incision is created on the plantar medial heel. The plane finder instrument is inserted inferior to the plantar fascia and guided laterally until the lateral skin is tented. A lateral portal incision is created, and the plane finder instrument is inserted until the thickest diameter of the instrument is exposed laterally. The clear cannula is inserted in the lateral port over the plane finder, with the open slot of the cannula pointed planter. The plane finder is removed, and the cannula is rotated to position the slot in a superior direction, allowing visualization of the fascia. Cotton swabs are inserted from lateral to medial through the cannula, clearing soft tissue debris. A 4.0mm, 30 degree arthroscope is inserted laterally, and inspection of the fascia is performed to identify the separation between the central and lateral band of the fascia. At this point, the toes are manually extended, creating fascial tension if any fatty tissue remains obstructing the view of the fascia. A rasp may be inserted to improve visualization. Finally, a triangle or hooked knife is inserted medially and a release of the central band is performed in a slow, controlled manner from a lateral to medial direction. Following confirmation of an adequate release, the instruments are removed and the incisions are closed with suture.
