Recalcitrant heel pain. Traumatic fibrosis versus heel neuroma

SB Beito, SM Krych and LB Harkless

In 1977, Davidson et al wrote an article entitled "Heel Neuroma." Since that time there has been a strong debate on whether the heel neuroma actually exists. The authors present a study of 14 patients presenting with recalcitrant heel pain. Each patient underwent surgical excision of a plantar heel mass. Two patients had bilateral procedures. Preoperative findings are compared with postoperative results. All of the patients experienced at least 75% relief, and the overall satisfaction rate was 79%.
