What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Your plantar fascia is a tight, thick tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia becomes inflamed or irritated, resulting in a sharp or dull pain felt at the bottom of the heel.1 This can be caused by several things, from carrying extra weight to wearing unsupportive footwear. Though treatments are usually quite simple, the pain of plantar fasciitis can be fairly severe.
Morton's Neuroma Symptoms and Foot Pain Treatment

Signs of Overpronation in Feet

Intra-articular corticosteroid injections for the treatment of people with foot and ankle osteoarthritis: a systematic review
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections are commonly used in the management of foot and ankle OA. Although current clinical guidelines advocate the judicious use of corticosteroid injection as an adjunct therapy, none of these recommendations are specific to the foot and ankle. Therefore, the aim of this review is to examine the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroid injections in people with foot or ankle OA.
Prospective multicenter study assessing radiographic and patient outcomes following an instrumented mini open triplanar tarsometatarsal arthrodesis with early weightbearing
This prospective, multicenter study assessed the radiographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes for hallux valgus (HV) correction performed with an instrumented 1st tarsometatarsal (TMT) system through a mini-open incision (≤4cm) with a biplanar plating construct and early return to weightbearing.
