What's band release? I tried to look it up but couldn't make sense of the search results.
That's good to know, I was under the impression embolism was a death sentence.

It's where they cut the iliotibial band in order to lengthen it a bit and let it heal up later, which reduces tightness. Most orthopedic surgeons say it's not a big deal, although I did find an article where it suggests that doing it can lead to destruction of knee cartilage over time.
