Abstract
Heel pain is a common presenting complaint in the foot and ankle practice.
Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of heel pain. It tends to occur more often in women, middle-aged, military recruits, athletes and the obese.

This condition is defined as traction degeneration of the plantar fascial band at its proximal attachment on the medial tubercle of the calcaneus.It is a non- inflammatory, degenerative condition associated with overuse. Its pathology is similar to a tendinosis or tendinopathy. Tendinosis is characterized by the absence of inflammatory cells, an abundance of disorganized collagen and fibroblastic hypertrophy, as well as disorganized vascular hyperplasia with avascular tendon fascicles.
The diagnosis of PF is based on clinical factors. Patients; typically compliant of pain around the area of the medial calcaneal tuberosity that; starts with the first step on arising in the morning or after prolonged sitting.
