A Radiographic Study of Biomechanical Relationship between the Achilles Tendon and Plantar Fascia

Figure 5

Plantar spurs were present in 65.0% (13 out of 20) of the heels with calcaneal posterior spurs, while there were only 12.0% of heels presenting plantar spurs in the posterior spur negative group. Plantar spurs and posterior spurs were inclined to appear at the same time (65.0%) or would not appear at all (88.0%).
