Body
was changed:
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of plantar heel pain. It can arise either from the stress of repetitive trauma (more common) or as an enthesopathy in association with seronegative spondyloarthropathies.
US characteristics of plantar fasciitis include:
- focal (common) or diffuse increased thickening of plantar fascia
- hypoechoic lesion
- perifascial oedema
- increased vascular flow on
Echo-Colourcolour Doppler - it might be associated with intrasubstance fissure

Findings
was changed:
US images of right plantar fascia demonstrate an oval shaped relatively hypoechoic, non vascularisednonvascularised nodule (increased thickness), developed in the fascial planes of the proximal plantar aponeurosis. No tear associated.
