Digital evaluation of the reliability of plantar fascia by ultrasonography
Objective To evaluate the reliability of the plantar fascia by ultrasonography. Methods 50 healthy adult volunteers (25 males and 25 females) were involved in this research. Images of the plantar fascia from 100 feet were acquired by ultrasonography, CT and MRI scanning, and recording the plantar fascia thickness of ultrasound image. Image data of CT and MRI in DICOM format were transformed into Materialise Mimics Innovation Suite 16 software for digital analysis. The reliability was compared among these three image data. Results There was no significant difference among the three groups in ultrasound, CT and MRI in the same gender (P>0.05). There was no statistical significance of the same sex differences between the left and right sides (P>0.05). There was significant difference of the same side between the male and female.the average thickness of the plantar fascia in males was larger than in females (P<0.05).Conclusion Ultrasonography can provide a relatively simple and reliable method for the measurement of plantar fascia thickness.
