AB This study compares scalpel debridement versus salicylic acid patches in the treatment of plantar callosities. A randomizedclinical trial (ACTRN12614000591651) was performed with 62 patients, divided into two intervention groups.Group A received treatment with salicylic acid patches (Call ıvoro Marthand ) and group B underwent scalpeldebridement of plantar callosities. Pain was measured on a visual analog scale, and foot pain and disability wereevaluated using the Manchester Foot Pain Disability Index (MFPDI) questionnaire (Spanish version). Significant differenceswere observed in pain measured immediately after treatment (P < 0.001) and at 15 days and 6 weeks aftertreatment. For some components, the MFPDI questionnaire revealed significantly better outcomes by scalpeldebridement at 15 days after treatment. The scalpel debridement of plantar callosities relieves pain more effectivelythan salicylic acid patches, and patients achieve greater functionality in the initial weeks after debridement.
