The relationship between pes planus and calcaneal spur to plantar heel pain

Abstract

Hindfoot lateral radiographs of 73 patients with plantar heel pain, 29 of whom have bilateral involvement ( 102 feet ) ranging in age from 20 to 60 were studied and compared with 120 normal subjects ( 240 feet ). The mean normal calcaneal pitch in male was 22.01¡, female was 18.76¡. This difference was statistically significant (p<0.01). The mean calcaneal pitch in patients with plantar heel pain was 16.72¡, which was significantly lower than in normal subjects. While 43 out of 73 patients with heel pain (% 58) were overweight, the incidence for normal control group was (%34) (p<0.001). The incidence of calcaneal spur in normal subjects was 8.3 % and in patients with plantar heel pain 60.2% (p<0.001). We conclude that aging, excessive weight and female gender may be important factors effecting the lowering the pitch and the increasing of spur formation which may cause plantar heel pain.
