Re: Bipolar radiofrequency for plantar fasciitis
Here is a news story from 4 weeks ago on this method:
New treatment could cure chronic heel pain

I have been using TOPAZ for about a year now for fascitis using both the open and percutaneus methods. I feel the open method is more predictable since you can see what the device is doing. The percutaneus method does work, but you need a bit more "feel" to be able to make it sucessful.
The beauty though, of the percutaneus method is that it can be performed in an office based setting wheras the open procedure should be performed in the O.R setting. -
here is a snippet from the Jun 2007 Podiatry Todays on A Guide To Diagnosing And Treating Plantar Fasciosis

A big salute. First, congratulate them on the development of the technique TOPAZ, I contact you for information about the protocols used by post after the implementation of the variant of the technique is minimally invasive, ok?.
Regards from Spain of a podiatrist friend. -
Hello
I have just found this article using google...hope it helps ;)
Im also very interested in this technique if someone has any more information, I would appreciate.

I've had great success with the topaz procedure. I perform them open. I have tried the percutaneous method, but is is difficult to guide the wand where you want it to go. It is best done with a flouro unit.
