Injection Plantar Fibroma (one or both sides) Procedure
A plantar fibroma is a noncancerous growth on the plantar fascia, which is the ligament that runs along the foot, from the heel to the toes. These growths can cause debilitating pain and can make walking increasingly difficult. Plantar fibroma injections are steroid injections that can shrink the growth and make it more comfortable for patients suffering from the discomfort.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Plantar fibroma injections are recommended for patients who experience pain and discomfort as a result of a plantar fibroma. This treatment option is typically considered after conservative measures such as orthotics, physical therapy, or shoe modifications are ineffective. The decision to offer plantar fibroma injections to patients takes many factors into account, including the severity of the symptoms, the size of the growth, and the patient’s overall health.
What To Expect
The doctor will use a local anesthetic to ensure the patient is comfortable throughout the procedure. The doctor will use an ultrasound machine or another form of diagnostic imagery to monitor the region. The doctor will then carefully inject a needle into the fibroma to inject a corticosteroid medication. This medication will shrink the growth, allowing patients to live more comfortably.
Patients should anticipate the possibility of soreness or pain around the injection site immediately after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. In terms of recovery, patients typically experience gradual relief from plantar fibroma symptoms as weeks go by following the injection.
