The most beneficial treatment is taping of the plantar fascia. The goal is to reduce forces stressed on the fascia. Severe cases may require cast immobilization or even surgery. Proper taping will essentially replace most of the stress on the fascia while weight bearing.

The following video describes cast mobilization post lapoplasty, as well as what is required postop, expected progression from a slippery cast into a below the knee cast. Also discussed ring, emotion, therapy, physical therapy, and progressing to weight-bearing. The video is intended to provide our patients direction as to what is expected.

First three weeks patient is essentially nonweightbearing with a slipper cast physical therapy starts at three weeks postop shifting to the removal cast for the next three weeks. The patient is using crutches for ambulation or a roll about. Always recommend her patients use crutches and helps with upper body strength and maintain physical fitness.

At the end of six weeks, we tend to have a patient return to a running shoe with crutches, until the obtain a heel to toe progression.
Once that is achieved, patient is allowed to continue walking in the running shoe all the time. Patient continues with strengthening and physical therapy program to attain full range of motion a great toe joint.
