This study investigated results of high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy applied to patients with recalcitrant plantar fasciitis. Materials and Methods: Ninety ESWT were applied to 63 patients (73 heels; 25 male and 38 female; average age 54 (29 to 77) years) from November 1999 to July 2003. All patients had plantar fasciitis for more than 6 months and failure of all non-surgical treatment for more than 3 months. A Dornier Lithotripter S, equipped with an electromagnetic shock-wave emitter was used. Routinely, 1000 shock wave impulses (frequency 2 per second, energy flux density (ED) 0.35 mJ\/mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> at 10.5 kV, total dose 350 mJ\/mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) were applied per treatment. Followup was carried out 6 weeks after ESWT, then a second clinic evaluation and a final followup at an average of 73 months after ESWT by telephone. Results: The success of ESWT, defined as a 30% VAS reduction, was seen in 81% at 6-week followup, at 88% at last clinic followup and in 96% at final phone followup. Conclusion: High-energy ESWT (0.35 mJ\/mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) was successful in the treatment of plantar fasciitis and the good short-term results seemed to be maintained over time. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Level of Evidence: IV, Retrospective Case Series <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3113\/fai.2010.0790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,30]],"date-time":"2010-09-30T16:38:35Z","timestamp":1285864715000},"page":"790-796","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["High-Energy Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Therapy (ESWT) for the Treatment of Chronic Plantar Fasciitis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Gerald","family":"Metzner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Dohnalek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elmar","family":"Aigner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/foot.1999.0520"},{"key":"bibr2-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1067-2516(02)80082-5"},{"key":"bibr3-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.11.1364"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr4-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"271","DOI":"10.1016\/S0891-8422(23)00904-7","volume":"7","author":"Davidson MR","year":"1990","journal-title":"Clin Podiatr Med Surg"},{"key":"bibr5-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-3959(01)00349-9"},{"key":"bibr6-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1082-3174(99)70006-1"},{"key":"bibr7-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546508324176"},{"key":"bibr8-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00132-002-0319-8"},{"key":"bibr9-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.jfas.2007.05.011"},{"key":"bibr10-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070302401103"},{"key":"bibr11-FAI.2010.0790","first-page":"267","volume":"69","author":"Jarde O","year":"2003","journal-title":"Acta Orthop Belg."},{"key":"bibr12-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"471","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-004-0496-6","volume":"12","author":"Jerosch J","year":"2004","journal-title":"Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc."},{"key":"bibr13-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0021-9290(94)00163-X"},{"key":"bibr14-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"240","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2004-832379","volume":"143","author":"Labek G","journal-title":"Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb."},{"key":"bibr15-FAI.2010.0790","first-page":"178","volume":"39","author":"Lapidus P","journal-title":"Clin Orthop."},{"key":"bibr16-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.jfas.2006.04.007"},{"key":"bibr17-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-200106000-00007"},{"key":"bibr18-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001130050358"},{"key":"bibr19-FAI.2010.0790","first-page":"192","volume":"306","author":"Prischasuk S","year":"1994","journal-title":"Clin Orthop"},{"key":"bibr20-FAI.2010.0790","first-page":"215","volume":"26","author":"Rompe JD","year":"1997","journal-title":"Orthopaede."},{"key":"bibr21-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.orthres.2005.09.003"},{"key":"bibr22-FAI.2010.0790","first-page":"38","volume":"3","author":"Rubin G","year":"1963","journal-title":"Am J Orthop."},{"key":"bibr23-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3959(93)90049-U"},{"key":"bibr24-FAI.2010.0790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079401500303"}],"container-title":["Foot &amp;
