Description: Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics
one of several causes of heel pain;
- the pain is located somewhat more distally than in other causes of heel pain syndrome
- symptoms include gradual onset of pain at the origin of the plantar aponeurosis and 1 cm distal to this area
- no definitive evidence that plantar fasciitis is linked with abnormal foot posture (pes planus or pes cavus)
