Is there a surgery for plantar fasciitis?

Yes: This is controversial and should not be done unless all non operative options have been exhausted. Currently, the most common surgeries are partial plantar fascia release and/or gastrocnemius release. However, 90% of people will have no pain within 1 year without surgery.

Yes: When all other measures have been exhausted, surgery for plantar fasciitis may be indicated. Surgery involves release of the plantar fascia itself. This can be done by an open procedure with one of several incision approaches or endoscopically. The procedure chosen by a surgeon is based on preference and patient selection criteria.

Yes: Many kinds too. But, i would stress conservative treatment and only recommend surgery as a last resort.

Combo treatment. : The more you can do together, the better: #1: supportive shoes. #2: firm inserts or orthotics. #3: oral antiinflammatories (check with your doctor for dosing). #4: stretching your foot and calf. #5: icing (10 min at a time). You may also need physical therapy or cortisone injections, or eswt if available in your area. Very few people go on to surgery, but it is a possible treatment.

Yes as a last resort: My practice has a special focus on plantar fasciitis. Surgery can include a partial cutting of the plantar fascial ligament thru a small incision or with an endoscope. Conservative care must be exhausted first which includes custom orthotics,medications, cortisone injections, stretching, and a nightsplint. Other non surgical procedures include the MLS Laser and Extra Corpeal Shock Wave.

Yes, but.....: Do not have surgery unless the plantar fascia is ruptured or you are dying.

Yes: As others have mentioned surgery can be done to treat plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciotomies and endoscopic plantar fasciotomies are relatively common procedures but are mainly done as a last resort when all conservative measures have failed. Each physician has their own algorithm on how to treat this. But while the surgery does have a recurrence rate it is generally an effective treatment.
