In plantar fasciitis or heel pain, the most important finding is the appearance of pain in the first few steps when getting out of bed in the morning and then the disappearance of the complaint as the steps are taken.

In planter fasciitis, complaints such as pain under the sole of the foot or standing for too long may accompany this finding. We know that flat feet, high arches, diabetes or rheumatic diseases can play a role in the infrastructure of patients with planter fasciitis.

In the treatment of patients with planter fasciitis, the use of insoles specific to the foot structure, physical therapy methods, and various injections are among the treatment options. We offer surgical treatment to our patients who do not respond to these treatments.

Meanwhile, heel pain, heel bone, calcaneus stress factor, nerve compression in the foot and tendon problems that develop due to various rheumatic diseases are important in the differential diagnosis.

The problem of flat feet or the collapse of the arch in the foot is one of the most common problems encountered in the foot. Among the most common complaints in patients with flat foot problems, early fatigue, observing various toe deformities in the feet, triggering knee problems and lower back problems are among the typical complaints.

In fact, the main factor in flat soles is the collapse of the arch due to the inability of a tendon, which we call the tibialis posterior tendon, to fail to function due to the developing disease.

Tibialis posterior tendon insufficiency is a picture that may occur in rheumatic diseases, diabetes, and weight problems. In the early stages of this picture, the patient’s complaints are tried to be eliminated with personalized insoles, physiotherapy and injections.

In cases where these treatments are not helpful, we try to help patients with surgical options. In surgical treatment, we correct the foot deformities of the patients by performing tendon transfers or joint fusions.

The high arch is the second most common arch deformity of the foot. During this deformity, the most common complaints are external foot pain, easy ankle sprain, knee pain, low back problems, and calluses on the soles of the feet. In time, patients may also develop toe deformities.

High arching problem is a picture that can occur in neurogenic disorders and genetic background disorders. In the early stages of this disease, success can be achieved by providing pain and walking function in patients with personalized insoles and some physiotherapeutic supports.

We offer surgical treatment options for patients in whom these treatments are not sufficient.
