The Diagnosis and Treatment of Heel Pain: A Clinical Practice Guideline-Revision 2010

Abstract

Heel pain, whether plantar or posterior, is predominantly a mechanical pathology although an array of diverse pathologies including neurologic, arthritic, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, or vascular etiologies must be considered. This clinical practice guideline (CPG) is a revision of the original 2001 document developed by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) heel pain committee. © 2010 American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
