Healing Plantar Fascial Tear Images: Dark, Intact, but Irregular

This is my grandson, and one of my best friends, Henry. Henry is shown here starting Kindergarten about 3 weeks ago. He says his favorite is "Math" because he loves looking for "Patterns". Just an Angel. 


Here is an MRI image for a plantar fascial tear healing well. The plantar fascia is this dense band of fibrous tissue that runs from the heel to the front of your foot. This image is at the 6 month point, therefore a second MRI. The fibrous bands look mainly dark, but very irregular, as this process of healing is a bit different from patient to patient. If you look first at the heel bone, and then 2 inches in front, you can see normal looking dense regular plantar fascia that we hope will happen over the next 6 months.
