Abstract

Plantar fasciitis is fairly common in orthopaedics out-patient department. Although, majority of the patients do well with conservative treatment, some patients continue to have painful feet despite a course of conservative management. These patients of plantar fasciitis are provided with other treatment modalities such as local corticosteroid but the chronic condition requires multiple dosages and are associated with adverse reaction. Autologous platelet rich plasma therapy is another modality for treatment of such cases and are not associated with adverse effects when compared with corticosteroid injection therapy. This prospective case series analyses the improvement of pain using visual analogue scale of plantar fasciitis patients treated with autologous platelet rich plasma over the course of 3 months. 30 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean VAS score at pre injection was 7.13 which signicantly reduced to 3.3 at 6 weeks post injection and 2.36 at 6 weeks post injection. There was signicant improvement in pain. This study is limited with small sample size and short follow up.
