Plantar Fasciotomy - Endoscopic

Plantar Fasciotomy - Endoscopic is available through Mishe Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Endoscopic plantar fasciotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat plantar fasciitis, a condition characterized by inflammation and pain in the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. During the procedure, small incisions are made near the heel, and an endoscope—a thin, flexible camera—is inserted to provide visualization of the plantar fascia and surrounding structures. Surgical instruments are then used to release or partially cut the plantar fascia, relieving tension and allowing the tissue to heal properly. This procedure aims to alleviate symptoms such as heel pain and improve overall foot function. Endoscopic plantar fasciotomy is typically performed on an outpatient basis and is associated with minimal scarring, less post-operative pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Post-operative care may include a period of rest, protection of the foot, physical therapy, and gradual return to normal activities.
