Collega's, these are case notes as follows:
"beeld van fasciitis plantaris, dan wel nodulaire of toch schuurtje ?"
I have no more context really, unfortunately. Hope someone has heard of this.
TIA,
Marijke

torn muscle or tendon
Explanation:
Not sure about the 'nodulaire' but fasciitis plantaris is inflammation of the fascia (interface between the bones and muscles) on the sole of the foot. The doubt as to the diagnosis indicates that the patient has problems with underlying tissue rather than on the surface. Clearly, 'schuurtje' is misspelt and it should be 'scheurtje'. As it is not a dermal fissure, it is safe to assume that a possible torn muscle or tendon is indicated. I have some confidence here as I used to be a podiatrist.
