RODRIGUEZ BLANCO, Carlos E.  y  OJEDA LEON, Heriberto. New arthroscopic technique for the calcaneal spur syndrome. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2000, vol.14, n.1-2, pp.51-55. ISSN 0864-215X.

posterior root of the subcalcaneal spur, medially releases from the plantar fascia and, finally, allows the removal of the periosteum in the region adjacent to the localization of the spur. This technique was used from June, 1977, to May, 1998, in the treatment of 34 feet of 30 patients, who referred an unaceptable level of pain after 3 months of conservative treatment and among whom an aditional intensive program of 8 weeks with phsysiotherapy failed. Good and excellent results were attained 3 months later in all patients in relation to the release of pain and they were able to return to the normal activities previous to the onset of the symptoms. Only 5 cases required short cycles of physiotherapeutic treatment to solve discomforts connected with the practice of sports, intense traumas or impacts repeated before the year of follow-up. The complications consisted in 3 superficial infections cured with oral antibiotics and 2 cases of lateral transitory parestesia that were treated with rest and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.
