Platelet rich plasma versus corticosteroid injection for plantar fasciitis: A comparative study

The Foot, 2015
Intractable plantar fasciitis can be a difficult condition to treat. Early results of platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection have been promising. We compared PRP to traditional cortisone injection in the treatment of chronic cases of plantar fasciitis resistant to traditional nonoperative management.

Study to Analyze the Efficacy of Injection of Autologous Platelet-rich Plasma in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis

Journal of Orthopaedic Diseases and Traumatology
Context: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most typical causes of heel pain, affecting approximately 10% of the general population. Standard treatment for plantar fasciitis is conservative; however, approximately 10% of patients fail to respond.

Reply to Letter to the Editor: Platelet-rich plasma injections for chronic plantar fasciitis [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 2013
Dear Editor, We would like to thank Dr. Sharma for his interest in our paper entitled, “Platelet-rich plasma injections for chronic plantar fasciitis” [1]. The system used to obtain PRP did not concentrate white blood cells; furthermore, the concentration level of inflammatory cells are reduced in comparison to whole blood samples. We agree with Dr.

Efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma injection in plantar fasciitis

International Journal of Research in Orthopaedics
Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of chronic heel pain in adults, resulting from repetitive micro-trauma and degenerative changes of the plantar fascia. When conservative therapies fail, newer biological modalities such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are being explored.
