Ultrasound-Guided Hydrodissection for Baxter's Neuropathy Secondary to Plantar Fasciitis: A Case Report.

Plantar heel pain is a common pain condition encountered in clinical practice. The common etiologies include plantar fasciitis, calcaneal spur, calcaneus stress fracture, systemic causes, and trauma. Neurogenic causes, including entrapment at the tarsal tunnel or Baxter's nerve entrapment, can contribute to the heel pain and should not be overlooked. In this case report, we describe a patient with severe heel pain, presenting with overlapping features of plantar fasciitis and neuropathic pain. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested Baxter's nerve entrapment, and a subsequent ultrasound-guided hydrodissection of Baxter's nerve provided long-lasting pain relief.
