종골부 동통 증후군의 원인분석 = Bone Spur and Over Weight in Painful Heel Syndrome and Tenderness, Underlying Cause Analysis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Chiefly, painful heel syndrome is observed at old age. Many possible reasons were bursitis, plantar fasciitis, calcaneal periostitis around the calcaneus and achilles tendon. But the exact cause was not clearly identified due to complexity of subcalcaneal pain mechanism. The incidence of calcaneal spur and overweight were significant in painful heel syndrome. Our purpose of this study was analysis of underlyng cause and correlation about bony spur and overweight in painful heel syndrome. The author used incidence of heel spur on painful heel syndrome and body mass index to evaluate overweight. The material is 55 cases of painful heel syndrome patients and 60 cases of control group. Bony spur was one of the cause of painful heel syndrome. Body weight and calcaneal spur was developing factors on painful heel syndrome. And the result was as follows. 1. Spur formation incidence is 35 cases (63.6 %) in painful heel syndrome, 8 cases (13.3%) in normal control group. So, patient's group is significantly high (p<0.01). 2. Body mass index is 26.48 in painful heel syndromes, 21.75 in normal control groups. Overweight above index 27 is 22 cases (40%) in painful heel syndromes, 3 cases (5%) m normal control groups. So, patient's group is significantly high (p<0.01). 3. In painful heel syndrome, tenderness site is 46 cases (83.6%) in medial calcaneal tuberosity, 4 cases (7.3%) in central calcaneal tuberosity, 1 cases (1.8%) in both site. 4. Underlying causes of painful heel syndrome is 19 cases (34.5%) in plantar fasciitis, 16 cases (29.1%) in calcaneal periostitis, 11 cases (20%) in bursitis, 4 cases (7.3%) in tendinitis, 2 cases (3.6%) in entrapment neuropathy.
