Abstract
Chronic heel pain following plantar fasciosis is a nagging problem that is often managed conservatively with satisfactory results. Refractory cases may require local corticosteroid injections as part of treatment. The standard technique in a right candidate ensures good outcome with minimal complications. Injection site infection is rare but dreaded complication that may occur and require proper management for recovery.
