Abstract

Aim

With resumption of elective spine surgery services following the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a multi-centre BASS collaborative study to examine the clinical outcomes of surgeries.

Methods

Prospective data was collected from eight spinal centres in the first month of operating following restoration of elective spine surgery following the first wave. Primary outcomes measures were the 30-day mortality rate and postoperative Covid-19 infection rate. Secondary outcomes analysed were the surgical, medical adverse events and length of inpatient stay.

Introduction

Plantar fasciopathy is a common cause of heel pain, and is usually treated in primary practice with conservative measures. Intractable cases can prove very difficult to treat. Currently plantar fasciopathy is not routinely imaged and treatment is empirical. At the Royal Surrey County Hospital patients with intractable plantar fasciopathy are managed in a unique ‘one-stop’ Heel Pain clinic. Here they undergo clinical assessment, ultrasound scanning and targeted therapy.

Methods

Patients referred to the clinic since 2009, with symptoms lasting longer than 6 months and failed conservative management, were prospectively followed. Plantar fasciopathy was confirmed on ultrasound scanning. The ultrasound scans were used to classify the disease characteristics of the plantar fascia.
