Open Surgical Implantation of a Viable Intact Cryopreserved Human Placental Membrane for the Treatment of Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis: Case Report With Greater than 2-Year Follow-Up Duration.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common conditions encountered by a podiatric physician. Although most individuals respond well to traditional conservative and surgical remedies, a portion of patients will exhaust all available treatment options and will experience ongoing pain that can ultimately affect their quality of life. There has been an increase in scientific and clinical research surrounding the medical use of human placental membranes (HPMs) and many of these point-of-care allografts are now commercially available.
