Recent studies indicate that chronic plantar fasciitis can be treated effectively with Proximal Medial Gastrocnemius Recession (PMGR). In our hospital this treatment has been inocorporated into routine care. This prospective kohort study will follow 150 patients with chronic planatar fasciitis operated with PMGR study. The follow up time is 2 years and the study aims at documenting the effect of the surgery with PROMS (patient related outcome measures), MRI (magnetic resonnance imaging) and ankle movement measurements. 26 patient-related baseline factors will also be registered. A regression analysis will be performed to identify factors that may be predictive to the effect of PMGR surgery.
This prospective kohort study will follow 150 patients treated with proximal medial gastrocnemius recession for plantar fasciitts. Follow up time is two years and the main outcome is the Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire.~A regression analasys will be performed to identify possible patient baseline factors that may affect the effect of surgery,
