Abstract Plantar fasciitis is reported to be the most common cause of pain in the inferior heel. It is estimated to account for 11 to 15 percent of all foot symptoms requiring professional care among adults. (5,10,11) The aim of this work was to compares the efficacy of platelets rich plasma with that of corticosteroid local injection in chronic plantar fasciitis.PRP and corticosteroids are common modes of treatment of plantar fasciitis which does not respond to conservative treatment. Literature has described the beneficial effects as well as the complications of each of these treatment modalities. Between January 2017 and April 2017 our study compared the pain and the functional outcome who were given any one these treatment modalities. I did a study on 60 patients presented to New Cairo hospital with chronic plantar heel pain due to plantar fasciitis with 30 patients in each of the group. |
