<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Plantar fasciitis (PF) is considered as degenerative tendinopathies. Repeated micro trauma is the major etiology of these diseases. Autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections are becoming more popular in the treatment of enthesopathies like PF. The growth factors in PRP cause tissue healing. We compared the result of injecting intra-lesional autologous PRP injections versus steroid infiltration in chronic PF.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective, interventional and analytic comparative study was done and 81 patients (120 heels) were included in this study and were followed up for 6 months. We assessed the outcome of each patient using visual analog score (VAS) and foot and ankle disability index (FADI) on follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months. <strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In our study, female preponderance was seen. Left side was more common as compared to right side. Unilateral PF is more common than bilateral. The difference with in the individual group at baseline and at 1,3 and 6 months was statistically highly significant in terms of VAS and FADI (p=0.0001) But the difference in the between the two groups was insignificant for VAS and FADI at 1, 3 and 6 months.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In our study, as there is no significant difference in VAS and FADI score between corticosteroid injection group and PRP injection group at 1, 3 and 6 months follow up. So, it’s reasonable to conclude that both are equally effective in PF. But as PRP injection comes out to be more time consuming and more costly, corticosteroid seems to be more efficient, cost and time wise. Hence, the latter should be a better choice.      </p>

ABSTRACT Introduction Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is promoted now­adays as an ideal autologous biological blood-derived product. It enhances wound healing, bone healing, tendon healing and is currently being widely used. Aims and objectives A prospective cohort study was done to assess the efficacy of autologous PRP injection and to compare it with corticosteroid injection in treatment of plantar fasciitis (PF). Materials and methods Eighty patients were included in the study and divided into two groups. Group I (30 patients) received PRP injection and group II (50 patients) were given steroid injection. Patients were clinically assessed at different intervals. Functional outcome was evaluated on the basis of visual analog scale (VAS) and foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM) scores. Planter fascia thickness was assessed pre- and postinjection by ultrasound. Results Platelet-rich plasma and corticosteroid injection groups at the initial visit had VAS score of 8.44 and 8.38 respectively which was reduced to 1.46 and 3.02 at the end of 6 months. The PRP and corticosteroid injection groups at the initial visit had FAAM score of 29.9 and 31.6 respectively which increased to 83.4 and 69.1 at the end of 6 months. After injection, the PRP group had significant reduction (35.90%) in the thickness of plantar fascia as compared to corticosteroid group (28.67%). Conclusion Treatment of PF with PRP extract reduces pain and significantly increases function, exceeding the effect of steroid on long-term follow-up.
