Plantar Fasciitis With a Calcaneal Spur

Abstract

This study presents the case of a 47-year-old male with right foot plantar fasciitis and a calcaneal spur. Chronic heel pain can be caused by several medical conditions, including plantar fasciitis and a calcaneal spur, which often may be overlooked on initial evaluation. The risk factors, clinical presentation, imaging findings, and emergency department management of plantar fasciitis with a calcaneal spur are reported and discussed.
