Hi,

Have a 24 year old patient with bilateral plantar fasciitis. Patient has had PF for 14 months now, which has failed to respond to conservative treatments like stretching, orthotics, night splint, etc.
The orthotics the patient was using were 'off-the-shelf,' and I prescribed custom orthotics for the patient. However, during the evaluation the patient asked me what % of patients in the general population suffer with permanent fasciitis. He also asked how many are permanently disabled.
I gave him the standard figure of approximately 95% of patients respond to custom orthotics. In your experience, how many cases of persistent/permanent PF have you seen? Can the patient still walk/ perform job duties?
