Chronic Achilles tendon overuse injury: complications after surgical treatment. An analysis of 432 consecutive patients.
TL;DR: About every 10th patient treated surgically for chronic Achilles tendon overuse injury suffered from a postoperative complication that clearly delayed recovery, however, the majority of patients with a complication healed and returned to their preinjury levels of activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shock wave therapy for chronic proximal plantar fasciitis.
TL;DR: The current study showed that the directed application of electrohydraulic-generated shock waves to the insertion of the plantar fascia onto the calcaneus is a safe and effective nonsurgical method for treating chronic, recalcitrant heel pain syndrome.
