The efficacy of a short leg walking cast in the treatment of chronic plantar heel pain was assessed for 32 patients with 37 involved extremities treated over a 2-year period. All patients had failed numerous other treatment modalities and had been symptomatic for an average of 1 year. Long-term follow-up for 24 patients with 28 involved extremities revealed complete resolution of pain for 7 extremities (25%), improvement for 17 (61%), and no improvement for 4 (14%). Ten (42%) patients were completely satisfied with cast treatment, 3 (12%) were satisfied with reservations, and 11 (46%) were dissatisfied. Casting appears to be a reasonable option for patients with recalcitrant heel pain and should be offered before surgical intervention.
