People who have endoscopic plantar fasciotomy can walk without pain almost immediately, return to wearing their regular shoes within three to five days, and return to normal activities within three weeks.
Fasciotomy in the limbs reduces pressure, thus reducing tissue death. Endoscopic plantar fasciotomy has a success rate of 90-95%.
Little preparation is done before a fasciotomy. When the fasciotomy is related to burn injuries, the fluid and electrolyte status of the patient are constantly monitored.
Fasciotomy in the limbs is usually performed by a surgeon under general or regional anesthesia.

Typical results from fasciotomy include relief of pressure within the affected muscle compartment, improved blood flow, and decreased pain and swelling. Long-term outcomes may include improved function and mobility in the affected area.
The greatest risk with endoscopic plantar fasciotomy is that the arch will drop slightly as a result of this surgery, causing other foot problems.
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.

The CPT code for endoscopic plantar fasciotomy is 29892. This code is used to describe the endoscopic technique for performing a fasciotomy of the plantar fascia, often employed to alleviate symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis or related conditions. It's important to ensure that this code aligns with the specific details of the procedure performed.
In the case of injury, fasciotomy is done on an emergency basis, and the outcome of the surgery depends largely on the general health of the patient. Plantar fasciotomies are appropriate for most people whose foot problems cannot be.
