I have to disagree, traditional surgery can have great results if the post-op care is followed - rest, rest, non-weightbearing, more rest, then PT and massage. I suffered for 5 years, had the open release in both feet, and, 4 years later, I am still pain free! Poor results happen when you try to get back on your feet too soon and don't give the fascia a chance to heal - no matter which surgery was done. EPF is still a relatively new procedure and good, controlled studies need to be performed before we can say which is better. I would choose the one my Dr. has had the most success and feels more comfortable performing. My 2 cents
