A group of inflammatory arthritic disorders known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are characterized by arthritis of uncertain origin that first manifests in a child under the age of 16. This is the most common chronic rheumatological disease of childhood. The JIA is present in every country and has an incidence of 1 in 100,000. Despite the absence of a documented etiology, there are a number of genetic and environmental risk factors as well as immunologic abnormalities that can be seen and used to infer information about the pathophysiology of the illness. Although there is no cure, modern therapy can frequently reduce the underlying inflammation and enhance function and symptoms. In this case patient showed complete resolution of symptoms with no signs of recurrence. As a result, it helps patient to live a healthy life.
Planter fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in patients attending the orthopaedic clinics. Pathophysiology involves micro tears in the tendon leading to haemorrhage, rough granulation tissue formation and later repair. Even though the different treatment modalities have been claimed to be effective in treating this condition due to its chronic nature and tendency to recur with resumption of activity, no single modality has been considered. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection as a treatment that has been used in recent times for various enthesopathies. It repairs incompletely healed injuries thereby reducing pain and increasing function. We report a series of 5 cases of recurrent Plantar Fasciitis treated with PRP injections.
