Plantar fasciitis or plantar heel pain is a disorder of the plantar fascia, which is the connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot. [ 2 ] It results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest. [ 2 ][ 4 ] Pain is also frequently brought on by ...
Immobilization via boot and physical therapy, custom orthotics. Prognosis. Relatively good. Frequency. 3.3 to 10%. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is the dysfunction of the posterior tibial tendon. It is a progressive disease that has four stages [1] and is the most common cause of adult flatfoot. [2]
Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a nerve compression syndrome or nerve entrapment syndrome causing a painful foot condition in which the tibial nerve is entrapped as it travels through the tarsal tunnel. [1][2] The tarsal tunnel is found along the inner leg behind the medial malleolus (bump on the inside of the ankle).
Heel pad syndrome is a pain that occurs in the center of the heel. [1] It is typically due to atrophy of the fat pad which makes up the heel. Risk factors include obesity. [1] Other conditions with similar symptoms include plantar fasciitis. [1] Treatment includes rest, pain medication, and heel cups. [1] It becomes more common with age. [1]
Mueller–Weiss syndrome, also known as Mueller–Weiss disease, is a rare [2] idiopathic degenerative disease of the adult navicular bone characterized by progressive collapse and fragmentation, leading to mid- and hindfoot pain and deformity. [3][1] It is most commonly seen in females, ages 40–60. [4] Characteristic imaging shows lateral ...
Cuboid syndrome. Cuboid syndrome or cuboid subluxation describes a condition that results from subtle injury to the calcaneocuboid joint, [1] and ligaments in the vicinity of the cuboid bone, one of seven tarsal bones of the human foot.

This bone may be present in approximately 2-21% of the general population and is usually asymptomatic. [1][2][3] When it is symptomatic, surgery may be necessary.
A plantar fascial rupture, is a painful tear in the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a connective tissue that spans across the bottom of the foot. [1] The condition plantar fasciitis may increase the likelihood of rupture. [2] A plantar fascial rupture may be mistaken for plantar fasciitis or even a calcaneal fracture.
