Local blockade treatment

Western medicine uses local drug blockade. Lidocaine can block nerves and dilate local blood vessels. Prednisone acetate has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. The combination of the two can quickly eliminate local inflammation and relieve pain symptoms to treat the symptoms. Treatment method: The patient lies prone on the treatment bed, with a small pillow placed in front of the ankle joint, the heel facing upward, and the heel stabilized. Combine acupressure with X-rays, and mark the most obvious tenderness, which is the tip of the bone spur, with gentian violet. Use a sterile 5 ml empty No. 5 needle to draw out 2 ml of 2% lidocaine and 1 ml of prednisolone acetate. After routine disinfection at the marked site, insert the needle and inject 2 ml of lidocaine and prednisolone acetate mixture. Treatment was given once every 7 days, for a total of 3 times.

Treatment

Using continuous epidural anesthesia, the patient's medial malleolus is about 4 cm below the tip and about 2 cm posterior as the starting point, and a 1.5-2 cm incision is made posteriorly parallel to the plantar surface of the foot. Blunt separation is performed to stop bleeding, and the bone spur is detected with a 2 mm Kirschner wire. The portable X-ray machine is used for fluoroscopic positioning. A 3.5 mm wide, 130° angle lamina rongeurs are used to probe to the bone spur along the direction of the Kirschner wire. The hypertrophic bone spur is completely bitten off, and the rough surface is then filed flat. Fluid examination shows that the original bone spur on the plantar surface of the calcaneus is smooth, and the bone is rinsed, sutured, and sterilely bandaged. Routine hemostasis and infection prevention treatment was performed after the operation. The incision was bandaged with pressure for 24 hours and the dressing was changed. The pressure was removed, the affected limb was elevated, and dorsiflexion and plantar flexion functional exercises were performed. Weight-bearing activities were tried 2 weeks after the operation.

Clinical efficacy

69 patients with heel spur (69 cases of heel pain with heel spur type treated with small incision surgery) were treated with small incision surgery. The incision healed in 2 weeks in 67 cases, and in 2 patients, the incision healed in 3 weeks because it was slightly larger and too close to the plantar surface. In 65 patients, pain completely disappeared 2 weeks after surgery and they could move the affected foot normally. In 3 patients, pain disappeared 3 weeks after surgery and in 1 patient, pain disappeared 1 month after surgery. No recurrence was found in 69 patients during follow-up 1 to 5 years after surgery.
