Introduction: Plantar fasciitis is the most common overuse injury. Steroid injections are a popular shortterm method of treating it. However lack of an inflammatory process histologically in plantar fasciitis questions its mode of action. Recently, promising results were reported with the use of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for treating muscle and tendon injuries and degeneration. The rationale lies in reversing the blood ratio by decreasing RBCs (less useful in the healing process) to 5%, and increasing platelets to 94% to stimulate recovery. We conducted a study with an aim to assess the efficacy of PRP injections for treating chronic plantar fasciitis. Materials and Methods: Study was conducted in a private medical college in Andhra Pradesh, including 44 male and 16 females, attending orthopaedics OPD from November 2016 to October 2018, suffering with chronic plantar fasciitis. From each patient 10 cc of whole blood was drawn and PRP was prepared by differential centrifugation and injected locally. They were reviewed at 4 weeks 8 weeks 3 months and 6 months. Injection was repeated if no significant improvement seen at 4 th week. The result assessed using Base line Visual Analogue Score (VAS), Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) score. Results: There was highly significant improvement in the VAS and FADI score on each successive visit, when compared with baseline scores. Conclusion: PRP injection has a beneficial effect in treatment of plantar fasciitis.

“…Plantar fasciitis significantly diminishes the quality of life, affecting approximately 10% of the global population over their lifetime. 3 The prevalence of plantar fasciitis varies globally, with rates of 7.5% in the United Kingdom (UK), 3.6% in Australia, 59% among individuals aged 40 to 50 in India, and 57.8% in Saudi Arabia. For approximately 90% of cases, conservative treatments like stretching, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, night splints, strapping, orthoses, and adjustments to footwear prove effective.…”

Background: Aim of the study was to compare pain relief and functional outcome and between intralesional autologous platelet rich plasma injection (PRP) versus corticosteroid injection in the treatment of plantar, and fasciitis by using visual analogue score and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Methods: The sample size for the study was 30 patients attending Dr. Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College. Patients were divided into two groups (PRP versus steroid) of 15 each. The study follows a prospective observational design with follow up at 2 weeks, 2 months and 3 months post procedure. The functional outcome of patients in each group was assessed using the visual analog scale and AOFAS score. Results: Post-procedure, a significant decrease in VAS score was seen in patients treated with PRP injection (8.73 to 2.27) than those treated with Steroid injection (8.8 to 3.53). Also, there was a significant improvement in the AOFAS score from 72.73 to 88.67 while for those patients treated with steroid injection, the AOFAS score was comparatively low (65.87 to 82.2). Conclusions: Plantar fasciitis is a prevalent condition in our community, and many treatment options typically offer only temporary relief from symptoms. Intralesional PRP injection emerges as a dependable treatment method that fosters the healing process of the affected fascia, resulting in improved functional outcomes. Our study indicates that a singular administration of platelet-rich plasma injection for plantar fasciitis yields substantial pain relief compared to the local steroid injection.
