Q

What is the function of the plantar aponeurosis?

A

The Plantar Aponeurosis is dense connective tissue has five slips which run concurrently with the tendinous sheaths of the foot and helps them slide fluidly

The Plantar Aponeurosis is also a critically important passive support for the arches of the foot

Q

What can cause a calcaneal bone spur?

A

The arch of the foot sags and the calcaneus slides in a bursa that is just underneath the Plantar Aponeurosis.

This can cause inflammation of that bursa, which can then lead to overgrowth of bone and a bone spur
