Sonographic evaluation of plantar fascial pathology should not rely on an isolated criterion such as plantar fascial thickness.
Sonographic criteria may include items such as: 1) Fibrillar pattern of the fascia or alterations thereof, 2) Presence or absence of calcification within the fascia, 3) Regions of hypoechogenicity within the substance of the fascia, deep to the fascia or superficial to the fascia which may be consistent with fluid (edema), 4) Potential fascial rupture, 5) Potential hypertrophy of the inferior calcaneal nerve.
