Diagnostic ultrasound was performed in the sagittal and transverse planes on the plantar
aspect of XYZ. Results of diagnostic ultrasound were compared to that of a control, the
plantar fascia of the examiner, Dr. [insert your name here].

Vertical thickness of the plantar fascia was measured in the sagittal and transverse plane
and recorded at XYZ millimeters in thickness inferior to the calcaneal tuberosity, XYZ
millimeters in thickness at the distal end of the calcaneal tuberosity, and XYZ millimeters in
thickness 1.5 - 2cm distal to the leading edge of the calcaneal tuberosity in the patient.
This is in contrast to the control, which was measured and recorded at XYZ mm, XYZ mm,
and XYZ mm, respectively.

OPT/ALT: A significant amount of subcutaneous edema and hyperechoic signal within the
substance of the plantar fascia was noted, in contrast to that of the control, which showed
the control's plantar fascia substance to have a signal intensity isoechoic with tendon and
connective tissue.

OPT/ALT: The plantar fascia was inspected from its insertion on the calcaneal tuberosity in
the medial, central, and lateral bands, extending into the medial arch approximately XYZ
cm, and no evidence of plantar fascia rupture was noted.

OPT/ALT: No evidence of subcutaneous bursa or space occupying mass or plantar fibroma


was identified in the study.

OPT/ALT: Range of motion of the metatarsal phalangeal joints was performed during
simultaneous observations of the insertion of the plantar fascia on the medial, central, and
lateral bands.

OPT/ALT: Inspection of the entire plantar fascia, encompassing all three bands from
calcaneal origin throughout the medial arch was performed, and no evidence of plantar
fascia rupture or disruption was noted at the insertion or throughout the substance of the
plantar fascia on all three bands.

OPT/ALT: Palpation of the insertion of the medial and central bands of the plantar fascia
was performed with direct ultrasonic visualization of areas of discomfort during this
examination, confirming insertional plantar fasciitis of the medial and central bands of the
plantar fascia.

Assessment: Plantar Fasciitis confirmed using Diagnostic Ultrasound.
