Doctors Gormley and Kuwada investigate the pathology of chronic heel pain secondary to soft tissue and osseous inflammatory conditions. Pertinent literature review regarding success following fascial release as well as bone spur removal is provided. Ninety-four patients are reported having sustained spur removal with fascia resection according to the authors' technique. They report a 95% success rate postoperatively.
