Heel pad syndrome is a pain that occurs in the center of the heel. [1] It is typically due to atrophy of the fat pad which makes up the heel. Risk factors include obesity. [1] Other conditions with similar symptoms include plantar fasciitis. [1] Treatment includes rest, pain medication, and heel cups. [1] It becomes more common with age.
A fat pad (aka haversian gland) is a mass of closely packed fat cells surrounded by fibrous tissue septa. [1] They may be extensively supplied with capillaries and nerve endings. [1] Examples are: Intraarticular fat pads. These are also covered by a layer of synovial cells. [1] A fat pad sign is an elevation of the anterior and posterior fat ...
Piezogenic papules. Other names. Painful fat herniation, piezogenic pedal papules [1] Piezogenic papules on the heel of an individual with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. Specialty. Dermatology. Symptoms. Multiple yellowish to skin-coloured small or large bumps, mostly painless; typically on heels and wrist [2][3] Causes.
Plantar fasciitis or plantar heel pain is a disorder of the plantar fascia, which is the connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot. [2] It results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest. [2][4] Pain is also frequently brought on by bending ...
Sinus tarsi syndrome is the clinical disorder of pain and tenderness in the sinus tarsi, which is a lateral tunnel in the foot at the junction of the hindfoot and the midfoot, between the ankle and the heel. [1][2] Most of the time, sinus tarsi syndrome onsets after ankle sprains, however there can be other causes. [3]
Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The sinus tarsi, also known as the talocalcaneal sulcus, [1] is a cylindrical canal in the hindfoot. It has a complex anatomy, with five ligamentous structures and a pad of adipose tissue (fat). [2] The tarsal canal opens up into the sinus tarsi, [3] however, the tarsal canal is a distinct structure.
It forms a joint with the talus bone, the subtalar joint. In humans and many other primates, the calcaneus (/ kælˈkeɪniəs /; from the Latin calcaneus or calcaneum, meaning heel; [1] pl.: calcanei or calcanea) or heel bone is a bone of the tarsus of the foot which constitutes the heel. In some other animals, it is the point of the hock.
The posterior fat pad is normally pressed in the olecranon fossa by the triceps tendon, and hence invisible on lateral radiograph of the elbow. [3] When there is a fracture of the distal humerus, or other pathology involving the elbow joint, inflammation develops around the synovial membrane forcing the fat pad out of its normal physiologic resting place.
