The disease reduces the quality of life and is difficult to treat, as its pathogenesis remains unexplored.</p> <p><bold>The</bold><bold> </bold><bold>aim</bold><bold> </bold><bold>of</bold><bold> </bold><bold>the</bold><bold> </bold><bold>study</bold><bold> </bold>— to conduct a comparative evaluation of treatment outcomes in patients with proximal plantar fasciopathy using extracorporeal shock wave therapy, as well as minimally invasive bipolar radiofrequency ablation, both with and without the described modification.</p> <p><bold>Methods</bold><bold>. </bold>We analyzed the treatment outcomes of 36 patients who sought medical care for chronic heel pain caused by proximal PF in the period from 2018 to 2023. Among the patients, there were 14 (38.8%) women and 22 (61.2%) men, with a median age of 55.4 [46.7; 61.7] years. All patients were randomly assigned to three groups of 12 patients each. In Group 1 (control), extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), which had not been used at previous stages, was used for treatment; in Group 2 (comparison) — minimally invasive bipolar radiofrequency ablation (BRFA); in Group 3 (main) — minimally invasive BRFA using a method modified by the authors. Comparative evaluation of the results was carried out at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery in Groups 2 and 3 and after the completion of ESWT course in Group 1.</p> <p><bold>Results</bold><bold>. </bold>The median plantar fascia thickness of the affected limb did not differ between the groups at 3 months after the completion of treatment. At 6 months, these indicators were significantly different between the control and main groups (p = 0.001). In the intergroup analysis of the dynamics of pain syndrome and foot functionality, the treatment results in the main group showed a statistically significant advantage compared with control and comparison groups after 1, 3 and 6 months of follow-up (p &lt; 0.05).</p> <p><bold>Conclusions</bold><bold>. </bold>The modified minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation method for the treatment of patients with proximal plantar fasciopathy demonstrated superior early clinical outcomes compared to the standard ablation technique and a course of extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The results obtained appear promising and suggest that the modified technique may be considered a preferred treatment option in cases where all types of conservative therapy fail within a six-month period.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Актуальность. </bold>Среди множества причин подошвенной пяточной боли проксимальная подошвенная фасциопатия находится на втором месте, уступая лишь повреждениям связочного аппарата стопы. Заболевание снижает качество жизни и трудно поддается лечению, так как его патогенез остается до конца не изученным.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования </bold>— сравнительная оценка результатов лечения пациентов с проксимальной подошвенной фасциопатией с применением ударно-волновой терапии, а также мини-инвазивной биполярной радиочастотной абляции с модификацией и без нее.</p> <p><bold>Материал и методы.</bold> Проведен анализ результатов лечения 36 пациентов с проксимальной подошвенной фасциопатией в период с 2018 по 2023 г. Среди пациентов было 14 (38,8%) женщин и 22 (61,2%) мужчины, медиана возраста составила 55,4 года [46,7; 61,7]. Все пациенты случайным образом были распределены на три группы по 12 пациентов в каждой. В 1-й (контрольной) группе для лечения использовалась не применявшаяся на предыдущих этапах ударно-волновая терапия (УВТ), во 2-й группе (сравнения) — мини-инвазивная биполярная радиочастотная абляция, в 3-й (основной) — мини-инвазивная биполярная радиочастотная абляция по модифицированной авторами методике. Сравнительную оценку результатов осуществляли в сроки 1, 3, 6 и 12 мес. со дня оперативного лечения во 2-й и 3-й группах и со дня окончания курса УВТ в 1-й группе.</p> <p><bold>Результаты. </bold>Медианы показателей толщины подошвенного апоневроза стопы с болью через 3 мес. после завершения лечения межгрупповых отличий не имели, через 6 мес. — между контрольной и основной группами эти различия были статистически значимы (p = 0,001). При межгрупповом анализе динамики болевого синдрома и функциональных возможностей стопы результаты лечения в основной группе показали статистически значимое преимущество по сравнению с группами контроля и сравнения через 1, 3 и 6 мес. (p &lt; 0,05).</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Модифицированный мини-инвазивный метод радиочастотной абляции при лечении пациентов с проксимальной подошвенной фасциопатией показал лучшие итоговые результаты в более ранние сроки в сравнении со стандартной методикой абляции и курсом ударно-волновой терапии. Полученные результаты выглядят обнадеживающими, и метод может рассматриваться в качестве приоритетного варианта лечения в тех случаях, когда в течение 6 мес. были исчерпаны все варианты консервативной терапии.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>proximal plantar fasciopathy</kwd><kwd>plantar fascia</kwd><kwd>plantar heel pain</kwd><kwd>bipolar radiofrequency ablation</kwd><kwd>foot function index</kwd><kwd>functional capacity of the foot and ankle</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>проксимальная подошвенная фасциопатия</kwd><kwd>подошвенный апоневроз</kwd><kwd>подошвенная пяточная боль</kwd><kwd>биполярная радиочастотная абляция</kwd><kwd>функциональный индекс стопы</kwd><kwd>функциональное состояние стопы и голеностопного сустава</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Brody D.M.
