Ultrasound Guidance Does Not Improve the Results of Shock Wave for Plantar Fasciitis or Calcific Achilles Tendinopathy: A Randomized Control Trial

Conclusions: Although both treatment groups had good clinical outcomes in this study, results for the 2 study groups were almost identical. Clinical Relevance: This study shows that there is no major advantage in the addition of ultrasound for guiding shock waves when treating calcaneal enthesopathies (PF and CAT).
