OBJECTIVE
To determine the association of atrophy of the abductor digiti minimi muscle (ADMA), an MRI manifestation of chronic compression of the inferior calcaneal nerve suggesting the clinical diagnosis of Baxter's neuropathy, with MRI markers of potential etiologies, including calcaneal spur
Microfibrillar collagen is described. The method of application and use on the exposed surface of cancellous bone encountered in heel spur surgery, herein defined as a resection of the inferior calcaneal exostosis with plantar fasciotomy, is discussed. Microfibrillar collagen's chief effect on
OBJECTIVE
To clarify morphologic features associated with the clinical outcome of extracorporeal shock wave application (ESWA) in chronic plantar fasciitis.
METHODS
In this prospective study 43 patients (48 heels) with chronic courses of plantar fasciitis were clinically examined before and after
OBJECTIVE
To determine the spectrum of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings at the calcaneal attachment of the plantar fascia in asymptomatic volunteers.
METHODS
The study was approved by the institutional review board, and informed consent was obtained from all subjects. MR imaging was
To identify factors for the outcome of a minimum clinically successful therapy and to establish a predictive model of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in managing patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.
Randomized, controlled, prospective study.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and lesions of diverse ankle structures diagnosed at MRI with radiologic signs of flat foot.
METHODS
We retrospectively compared 29 patients that had posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (all 29 studied with MRI and 21 also
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a multifaceted, progressive, and potentially devastating disorder generally affecting the extremities. In addition, scant information is available regarding the types of patients who develop lower-extremity CRPS. This is a retrospective chart review study of
Brodie's abscess of the calcaneus is an uncommon benign lesion that has rarely been reported in the literature. This study presents a rare case of a Brodie's abscess of the calcaneus caused by Staphylococcus aureus in an adult patient. A 46-year-old immunocompetent man had undergone nonsurgical
OBJECTIVE
To prospectively evaluate with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging the acute changes in the heel associated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT).
METHODS
Institutional clinical study review board approved the study, and informed consent was obtained. MR imaging was performed within 24
