Fasciitis is an inflammation of the fascia. The most common condition for which fasciotomy is performed is plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot that is sometimes called a heel spur or stone bruise.
Plantar fasciitis is a condition caused by repetitive injury to the plantar fascia. Repetitive injury results in inflammation that can be painful. Longstanding inflammation and repetitive injury leads to chronic pathologic changes, usually near the origin of the plantar fascia. Tightness of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon/calf musculature are predisposing factors.Plantar fasciitis is common in:People who spend considerable amounts of time on their feet (mail carriers, warehouse workers, construction workers)People with certain foot alignment abnormalitiesRunners (especially long distance runners who cause constant, repetitive stress on the plantar fascia)Overweight individualsPeople with certain rheumatologic conditions

Plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is that pain in the bottom of your foot usually felt around your heel. That pain especially hurts first thing in the morning when you try to get out of bed and stand on your feet, or after sitting for awhile. The meaning of the name plantar fasciitis is: "Plantar" means the lower part of the foot, "fascia" is a type of connective tissue, and "itis" means "inflammation". The plantar fascia band runs in the bottom of your foot from your heel to the toes. Plantar Fasciitis is caused by wounding the tough plantar fascia band in the bottom of your foot. It hurts in the morning because the band contracts while sleeping with the foot in a pointed position and the first few steps out of bed stretch the band into pain.
Fasciectomy is the term for surgical removal of fascia.
The plantar fascia is the thick connective tissue which supports the arch of the foot
