Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the results of ESWT (extracorporeal shock wave treatment) in patients with heel pain due to chronic recalcitrant plantar fasciitisMaterial and Methods: 22 feet of 16 patients with ongoing complaint of heel pain after other conservative measures were included in this study. Mean age was 47 (31-67). The patients were evaluated according to Roles and Maudsley Scoring System and VAS (visual analog scala). Final follow up was done at the second year of treatment.Results: Mean Roles and Maudsley Score was 2.7 and 1.6 before and after treatment (at 6. month) respectively. Mean VAS score was 5.6 and 2.3 before and after treatment (6. month) respectively. 16 of 22 feet that were included in this study was graded as good in terms of pain and function. The decrease in VAS and Roles Maudsley scores was found to be statistically significant (p=0,0001).Conclusion: ESWT is a safe method of treatment that can be recommended to patients with chronic plantar fasciitis that have symptoms for more than 6 months.

Özet

Amaç: Kronik plantar fasiitise bağlı topuk ağrısı şikayeti olan hastalarda ekstrakorporal şok dalga tedavisinin sonuçlarının araştırılması amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Plantar fasiitis tanısı konan ve diğer kon-servatif tedavi yöntemleri sonrasında topuk ağrısı şikayeti devam eden 16 hastanın (10 kadın, 6 erkek) 22 ayağı dahil edildi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 47 (31-67) idi. Hastalara elektrohidrolik litotriptörü kullanılarak birer hafta ara ile üç seans ekstrakorporal şok dalga tedavisi (extracorporeal shock wave therapy=ESWT) uygulandı. Hastalar 3. ve 6. ayda Roles ve Maudsley Ağrı Skor lama sistemine göre ve GAS (görsel analog skor lama) sistemi ile değerlendirildi. Hastaların tümii tedavinin 2.yılında tekrar görüldü.Bulgular: Hastaların Roles ve Maudsley skor lamasına göre ağrı seviyesi tedavi öncesi ortalama 2.7 iken tedavi sonrası 1.6 olarak saptandı. Hastaların GAS (görsel analog skala) sonuçlarının tedavi öncesi ortalama 5.6 iken EŞD tedavisi sonrası ortalama 2.3'e gerilediği görüldü. Çalışmaya dahil edilen 22 ayağın 16'sında (% 72) sonuçların ağrı açısından iyi veya mükemmel sınıfına girmekte olduğu görüldü. Tedavi sonrası VAS ve Roles Maudsley değerleri tedavi öncesinden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede diişük bulundu (p-0,0001).Sonuç: EŞD tedavisi şikayetleri 6 aydan uzun süredir mevcut olan hastalarda önerilebilecek güvenli bir tedavi yöntemidir.
