This is a case report of a patient suffering from subcalcaneal pain syndrome due to plantar fasciitis that was resistant to non surgical treatment. After endoscopic partial release of the plantar fascia the patient was pain free for several weeks, before he became symptomatic again. This new pain was located more proximally. An MRI study showed a stress reaction of the calcaneus.

We present a 57-year-old female patient with iatrogenic lateral plantar nerve injury caused by endoscopic surgery for plantar fasciitis. Nerve grafting surgery was recommended, but the patient refused further surgical intervention because of personal reasons. After 1-year follow-up in outpatient clinics, she achieved only slight improvement in the lateral foot symptoms and still required oral analgesics for pain control. The purpose of this case report is to remind physicians of such a rare and serious complication that can occur after endoscopic surgery for plantar fasciitis. Good knowledge of anatomy and skilled surgical technique could decrease this type of complication.
