After blunt dissection of the fascia insertion using a hemostat, the dilator end of the double-sided tool is introduced to create a portal space just plantar to the fascial band. Once the portal space is created, a synovial scraper, as shown here (similarly, a freer or periosteal elevator can be used) is used to clear off any residual tissue over the plantar aspect of the fascia.
