چکیده
81 The discovery and popularization of roentgenography at the beginning of the century enabled the visualization of heel spurs.1 Wachter and Sonnenschein2 in 1915 correlated four cases of painful heels with calcaneal spurs; after all four patients returned for surgery following conservative care, the authors concluded that surgical intervention was the best treatment. Heel spur syndrome or plantar fasciitis—a condition in which there are no calcaneal spurs but there is heel pain—is another foot problem for which a patient will seek treatment. Fifteen percent of all patients who are treated in a podiatric physician’s office have heel pain, and 11% of those patients have heel spur formation.3, 4 Surgery is considered when a patient presents with chronic or acute heel pain that has proved resistant to conservative therapy. Some surgical procedures involve open excision. This study compares open versus endoscopic plantar fasciotomy heel procedures. Factors that may influence the outcome of surgery are also discussed.

متن کاملCharacterization of additive cost sharing methods ∗ Hervé Moulin and Rakesh Vohra April 2003
The set of additive cost sharing methods when individual demands are integer valued and cost shares are non negative, is characterized by its extreme points and by a network flow representation. The extreme methods allocate costs incrementally along a chain of demand vectors independent of the cost function. The result generalizes Wang’s characterization in that we do not assume the Dummy axiom.
