A member asked:

During foot reconstruction for foot compartment syndrome damage, cut plantar fascia off my heel bone. will it scar back to heel or remain floating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It Will Scar down: The ligament will grow and attach in an elongated status. Massage frequently during the first 8 weeks to minimize scar fibrosis, scaring and use an arch support or orthotic to decrease stress on this plantar fascial ligament.
