I seem to have chronic plantar fasciatis and may have to have surgery what is the sucess rate for this surgery and will my pain return.?

Depends: It depends on you and the surgeon. The surgery in general tends to have a good outcome with a good chance that the pain will not return.

Depends: On the type of surgery. In general the surgery has a 60% sucess rate.

Make sure: All conservative measures have been tried first.

Hopefully not: Success for surgery for plantar fasciitis is over 90%. But exhaust all conservative care prior to surgery.

80%: The success rate of plantar fascial surgery is about 80%. Other non-surgical treatments include the MLS Laser and ECWT(extra corpeal shock wave therapy). All conservative treatments should be exhausted.
