The Lapiplasty procedure is a modern approach designed to correct bunions at their source, restoring natural foot alignment in three dimensions.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) running across the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed. While many people improve with conservative care such as rest, stretching, orthotics, or injections, some cases of chronic plantar fasciitis require a more advanced solution.
Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Release is a surgical technique that uses a small incision and a camera-guided instrument to partially release the tight plantar fascia. This reduces strain, alleviates pain, and helps patients return to normal activities more quickly than with traditional open surgery.
During Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Release:
The entire procedure is typically completed in under an hour, and many patients go home the same day.
Recovery after EPFR is generally quicker than with open surgery. Most patients can bear weight shortly after the procedure and gradually increase activity as healing progresses, though this can vary depending on the individual patient’s situation.
