Podiatrist/plantar fasciitis surgery - distraction


Posted: Dec 14, 2011

She had a (s/l microdon or mitrodon) to the plantar fascia on 09/30/11. ("Jersey accent, if that helps) Thank you

Is the "microdon"...sm - GT

[ In Reply To ..]
the type of procedure she had? If not, possibly saying microtear to the plantar fascia. ??

microdon - distraction

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't think so. There is something about a Topaz microdebrider, so it might just be "micro done" on 09/30/11.
I couldn't find anything helpful on the Topaz site, so it may just be his terminology.

Thank you for your help.
