Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis: Is Fasciotomy Ever Necessary?

Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads

A point-counterpoint article on the pros and cons of plantar fasciotomy between Dr. Stephen Barrett and myself was just published in the November 2011 issue of Podiatry Today Magazine, for those that are interested.

Re: Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis: Is Fasciotomy Ever Necessary?

For those who want a magazine copy of the article, I have uploaded a scanned image of the article from Podiatry Today onto my website.

Barrett SL, Kirby KA: Point-Counterpoint: Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis: Is Fasciotomy Ever Necessary? Podiatry Today, 24 (11):60-66, 2011.

http://www.box.net/shared/z9vvdj6lt8

Couldn't get the article to upload onto Podiatry Arena, for some reason.
