Calcaneal Spur

A plantar calcaneal enthesophyte refers to an osteophyte which is located anteriorly to the medial tuberosity of the calcaneus. 

This is caused by repeated micro-trauma at the insertion of the plantar fascia into the calcaneus leading to inflammation and tenderness under the medial heel during weightbearing activities. 

A major biomechanical factor contributing to the ossification of the enthesis is a compromised or weakened medial longitudinal arch which increases calcaneal eversion and consequently, tension to the plantar fascia. 

This was further elaborated by Kogler et al. in their study which focused on the biomechanical effects of longitudinal arch support mechanisms on plantar aponeurosis strain ................ Continue reading on mass4d.com: Calcaneal Spur

Although it is a nice article but there are certain facts which I would like mention: 1. The calcaneal spur is in no way related to plantar fasciitis. 2. It has been found that calcaneal spur lies in the substance of flexor digitorum brevis muscle. 2. As the plantar fascia is not attached to the area of spur, so cannot be related to it.
