The Centerline™ System offers a minimally invasive endoscopic plantar fascia release technique for patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. The Centerline System raises the bar for endoscopic soft tissue procedures by increasing safety, visualization, ergonomics and reducing the possibility of mechanical failures.

Procedure

Arthrex® has developed a comprehensive, completely disposable system for endoscopic plantar fascia release. This minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to safely and effectively release the plantar fascia from the calcaneus in one simple, controlled cut under direct endoscopic visualization.
The EndoBlade™ system is a dual portal technique that is compatible with all 4 mm arthroscopes. Highlights of the all-in-one EndoBlade System include ergonomic single-use blades, a transparent slotted cannula which allows for real-time visual feedback of the soft tissue environment and a Plane Finder that acts as both an obturator and switching stick to make initial cannula insertion a cinch.

Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Release

An endoscopic gastrocnemius recession is performed utilizing the EndoBlade™ system, which allows for a dual-portal technique and is compatible with all 4-mm arthroscopes. Highlights of the all-in-one EndoBlade system include ergonomic single-use blades, a transparent slotted cannula with optimized length and diameter to allow for visual feedback, and a unique plane finder to reduce the likelihood of sural nerve damage.
