Plantar fascia (PF) lesions, such as plantar fasciitis, PF tear, and plantar fibromatosis (Ledderhose disease), are among the common causes of heel pain. The management of these lesions includes conservative treatments, minimally invasive treatments, and surgical interventions. When conservative treatments fail, minimally invasive injection therapies have been proposed as alternatives for managing PF lesions. Despite the availability of various injectable options, where and how to perform the injection is still controversial in the pertinent literature. In this article, considering the paramount role of ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis, interventions, and follow-up for PF pathologies, we demonstrated our sonographic approach to PF lesions for sonographers/physicians in daily clinical practice.
