Symptoms resembling those of plantar fasciitis were seen in six athletes who were thought to have a partial rupture of the plantar fascia. Treatment, which included the use of crutches, anti-inflammatory agents, strapping of the arch, and ice packs, was successful in all but one patient who had a painful mass in the area of the previous rupture. After surgical excision of the painful mass and release of the fascia, he recovered. Five of the six athletes had been previously treated with repeated local injections of steroid.
六名运动员出现了类似足底筋膜炎的症状，他们被认为存在足底筋膜部分撕裂。治疗方法包括使用拐杖、抗炎药、足弓绑扎和冰敷，除一名在前次撕裂部位有疼痛肿块的患者外，其他所有患者治疗均成功。在对疼痛肿块进行手术切除并松解筋膜后，他康复了。这六名运动员中有五名此前曾多次接受局部类固醇注射治疗。
