Comment on Sharma: platelet-rich-plasma injections for chronic planter fasciitis

Effectiveness of polydeoxyribonucleotide injection versus normal saline injection for treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis: a prospective randomised clinical trial

“…In recent years, other injection options, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A), have been used to treat plantar fasciitis.
