The plantar heel pain is very common complaint that causes significant discomfort. Plantar fasciitis is due to degenerative change of the plantar fascia at attachment site. Corticosteroids and autologous PRP injections are effective in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. We compared the local corticosteroid (methyl prednisolone acetate) injection and platelet-richplasma in terms of patient outcome in chronic plantar fasciitis. Materials and methods: The study was conducted at Pain clinic and in Department of Orthopaedics, Government District hospital Chitradurga, Karnataka from November 2022 to October 2023. Forty patients were enrolled in this study. The patients were selected randomly and were divided in two groups of 20 patients each (PRP and Steroid groups). Follow up done at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Results: Significant pain relief after 6 weeks of platelet rich plasma therapy and after at 3 months and 6 months follow up. Significant improvement in both groups with respect to AOFAS score and VAS scores. This improvement was significantly more in PRP group. Conclusion: PRP injection is more effective in resulting pain relief and function as compared to corticosteroid injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
