Abstract

Calcaneal spur (CS), which is one of the most common causes of heel pain and can cause life-limiting discomfort, is quite common throughout the whole population. CS is fibro-cartilaginous protrusions of various sizes in the calcaneal bone. There are many causes in the etiology of CS. The investigated causes generally focused on physical factors, and studies on metabolic parameters are rare. This study investigated the blood parameters of patients with plantar calcaneal spur.
