Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain. The aim of this study was to review the current literature and attempt to clarify whether endoscopic plantar fasciotomy (EPF) is an effective and reliable treatment for plantar fasciitis in comparison with other invasive or noninvasive treatments. We performed an electronic search of the medical literature in PubMed database using combinations of the following keywords: plantar fasciitis, endoscopic treatment, and plantar aponeurosis. Overall, we had shown that patients had better scores following EPF/endoscopic plantar fascia release. The clinical scores were improved postoperatively and most of the patients were satisfied. Furthermore, the clinical trials showed that time to return to work or to previous activities was shorter compared with other treatments. These studies suggest that EPF/endoscopic plantar fascia release is probably an effective treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis. EPF is an efficient, safe treatment with good early postoperative results in patients with recalcitrant plantar fasciitis. There is evidence that other methods are equivalently effective for EPF, and some authors support that they should be considered as a second-line treatment because of their minimal invasive character and very low risk of complications; thus, more research is required.
