We sought to evaluate various MR imaging signs of plantar fasciitis and to determine if a difference in these findings exists between clinically typical and atypical patients with chronic symptoms resistant to conservative treatment.
We found signs on MR imaging that, to our knowledge, have not been described in the scientific literature for patients with plantar fasciitis. These signs included occult marrow edema and fascial tears. Patients with these manifestations seemed to respond to treatment in a manner similar to that of patients in whom MR imaging revealed more benign findings.
我们试图评估足底筋膜炎的各种磁共振成像（MR）征象，并确定在临床典型和非典型的慢性症状患者中，对保守治疗有抵抗的这些表现是否存在差异。
我们在MR成像上发现了据我们所知在足底筋膜炎患者的科学文献中尚未描述的征象。这些征象包括隐匿性骨髓水肿和筋膜撕裂。有这些表现的患者对治疗的反应方式似乎与MR成像显示出更良性表现的患者相似。
