Plantar Fasciitis Diagram

What is Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy?
Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy is used for the correction of Heel Spur Syndrome and Plantar Fasciitis. The technique allows for a quick recovery and a faster return to normal activity. The procedure is performed by utilizing specially designed instruments that allow the surgeon to directly visualize the foot structures on a video screen. It involves an outpatient surgical visit that takes approximately 15-20 minutes and only requires two small incisions.

What is Heel Spur Syndrome?
It is often described as a “stone bruise” by the patient. Pain is usually worse in the morning, especially the first several steps, or when first standing after periods of rest. As the pain worsens, the heel can hurt even while not weight-bearing.

What Causes It?
There is a dense fibrous band of tissue in the bottom of the foot known as the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia inserts into the heel bone and spreads out into the foot. Studies have proven that the actual “spur” is formed over a long period of time because of constant pulling. The injury produces inflammation, pain, and the inability to bear weight on the heel comfortably.

How is this procedure different?
In Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy, two small incisions are made to release the tight fascial band attached to the heel bone. This surgical release immediately eliminates the inflammation area of the “spur” and normal foot function can return. With the endoscopic procedure, it is not necessary to make a large incision. It is not necessary to remove the “spur” tissue in order to relieve the pain.

Am I a Candidate for this Procedure?
If you have failed to obtain complete relief of heel pain symptoms with the use of conservative treatments such as taping, orthotics, cortisone injections, oral medication or physical therapy, then you may benefit from an Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy. A complete evaluation and discussion with our physicians will help determine your best options.

What are the Expected Results?
Most patients return to their regular shoes in 3-5 days. Everyone heals slightly differently. Other factors such as age, weight, and occupation can contribute to healing times.

Whether you are on the community softball team or training for the Olympics, Hunterdon Podiatric Medicine can treat you for any type of problem.

All the doctors are awesome! I typically see Dr. Kramer in the Washington Office or the Hunterdon Wound Care Center.
Jennifer O., 9/05/2024, Google 5-Star Review
What a fabulous office! I’ve been here a few times with my elderly mother-in-law and my goodness how wonderful they have been to her. From the minute you walk in the door, Janine greets us with a smile and PATIENCE! I can’t get over how kind and caring Janine is to my mother-in-law. She is so accommodating and patient with all the questions and requests, Janine is a gem, and not only the office but also the patients are blessed to have her. Once you've checked in with the office the next employee to see you is nurse Tracy. Tracy is also very patient and kind and has such a lovely rapport with my M-I-L. Not to be outdone by his staff is Dr. Molitoris, the doctor is awesome, he listens and listens to my mother-in-law carry on, this man has the patience of a saint! Besides his lovely disposition, he has proven himself to be an extremely competent doctor. Thanks to him my mother-in-law is able to walk so much better now that she is under his care. In addition to the wonderful staff, the office is very clean and comfortable and modern. I am reviewing the Bridgewater location.

Dr. Molitoris was amazing this morning. Highly recommend. Made my experience with ingrown (nail) so quick and easy. Very professional and courteous staff. Thank you!

My doctor, (Dr. Hoto) and the team of nurses and office staff are superb both in Bridgewater and Flemington. I want to specifically call out the amazing dedication of their Surgical Coordinator, Janine. Unfortunately, due to an error made by my health insurer the day before my surgery, the actual surgery was in jeopardy. Janine immediately prioritized the issue and spent hours during the day and on her way home (on her personal time) to personally make sure the issue was resolved and my surgery could take place as planned. Throughout the entire process, she kept me informed and was lovely to work with. Janine definitely went above and beyond for me. Thank you!
