AB1380 ULTRASONOGRAPHIC CHANGES OF PLANTAR FASCIA IN PATIENTS WITH PLANTAR FASCIITIS DUE TO ACQUIRED FLAT FOOT

Background Plantar fasciitis is a chronic degenerative process of the plantar fascia enthesis. It manifests by pain, predisposition to prolonged course and treatment resistance. In many cases, develops in patients with acquired flat feet. Taken into consideration above mentioned, study changes feet sonography relevant. Objectives To investigate quantitative qualitative sonographic case foot. Methods 190 on basis (133 females 57 males). The average age was 48 ± 0.97 years (18-81years). Unilateral pathology noted 117 bilateral – 73 patients. body mass index 27.68±0.3. duration pain syndrome 101 6.0 days (7-390 days). lasted up from 1 6 months 152 patients, more than 38 control group included 15 healthy volunteers (30 feet). Clinical radiological, sonographic, statistical methods were used. Results main features significant reduction echogenicity, erased or missing fibrous pattern, fuzzy contour aponeurosis; modified calcaneus; small focal hyperechogenicity points enthesis detected. Loci vascularization detected using power Doppler sonography. thickness 6,14±1,5 mm (2,3-7,7 mm) 3,5±0,1 (2,5-4,4 mm). Conclusion Sonographic signs echogenicity structure, contours cortical layer fascia, thickening 4 mm. Disclosure Interests None declared
