Abstract
Background
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain and in its severe forms it can lead to functional disability also. This study has been taken up to evaluate the role of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in managing chronic severe plantar fasciitis when other techniques have failed. This article also focuses on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, other non-operative treatment modalities and surgical options earlier used for plantar fasciitis.
Methods
For 92 patients of plantar fasciitis, PRP was prepared by double spinning technique, and then immediately injection was given after dorsiflexion of the ankle and injecting from the medial aspect of the foot. It was done as a day care procedure and the patients were examined after 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the procedure.
Results
After 12 weeks review, more than 60 patients showed great improvement in pain, with their VAS score of pain being below 7.
Conclusion
The article suggests good and effective use of PRP in treatment of plantar fasciitis, along with being a simple and safe procedure.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery (JAJS) is committed to bring forth scientific manuscripts in the form of original research articles, current concept reviews, meta-analyses, case reports and letters to the editor. The focus of the Journal is to present wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary perspectives on the problems of the joints that are amenable with Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty. Though Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty entail surgical procedures, the Journal shall not restrict itself to these purely surgical procedures and will also encompass pharmacological, rehabilitative and physical measures that can prevent or postpone the execution of a surgical procedure. The Journal will also publish scientific research related to tissues other than joints that would ultimately have an effect on the joint function.
