“…5 Collagen is a natural activator of PRP, thus when PRP is used in soft tissue, it may not require exogenous activation. 6 Plantar fasciitis affects general population working all day long standing on their feet as well as seasoned atheletes. Chronic plantar fasciitis is a common cause of foot complaints.…”

Background: Platelet rich plasma is a recently introduced therapy for treatment of chronic painful conditions in orthopaedics, it acts mainly by promoting healing process. PRP has an increased concentration of platelets which initiate tissue repair by releasing growth factors. Increased concentrations of autologous platelets yield high concentrations of growth factors, subsequently leading to intensified healing of soft tissue on a cellular level. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of platelet rich plasma injection in treatment of plantar fasciitis.Methods: This study was conducted on the patients coming to orthopaedic OPD at MGM medical college and hospital, kamothe, Navi Mumbai. Total of 40 planter fasciitis cases were taken in this study. Out these 40 patients 23 were Male and 17 were female. The mean age 45.85 (range 25-75). Patients were followed up for 3 months with regular interval and at each visit vas score was evaluated and noted.Total duration of study was 3 months from October 2016 to December 2016.Results: The mean pre injection vas score was 7.15 (Male – 7.13, Female – 6.70). The mean vas score at time of follow up after one week was 6.20 (Male – 6.22 Female – 6.18). The mean vas score at time of follow up after 6 week was 5.62 (Male – 5.66 Female – 5.70). The mean vas score at time of follow up after 3 months was 3.20 (Male – 3.13 Female – 3.29). Conclusions: PRP in plantar fasciitis shows promising short term results providing patients with gradual sustained pain relief, improving daily function and lifestyle activity level. However long term results needs to be evaluated.

“…Additionally, approximately 6 ml of platelet-rich plasma can be produced from 45 to 60 ml of blood thanks to newly developed small, compact office systems [14,21,[39][40][41]. Numerous of such systems are available in use, including the PCCS (Implant Innovations, Inc., Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.), the Symphony II (DePuy, Warsaw, Ind.…”

“…), the Magellan (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minn.), and the SmartPReP (Harvest Technologies Corp., Norwell, Mass.). Though, all these systems work on a small volume of obtained blood (45-60 ml) and on the principle of centrifugation, they have many differences in their capacity to collect and concentrate platelets, with about 30-85% of the available platelets collected and from a less than twofold to an approximately eightfold rise in the concentration of platelets over baseline [15,30,33,35,40,42].…”

As a general definition, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the concentration of autologous human platelets in a small amount of plasma. PRP contains important growth factors deposited in alpha-granules of platelets and plasma proteins such as fibrin, fibronectin, and vitronectin. PRP has been shown to improve wound healing process in acute trauma wounds, incisional wounds, and chronic nonhealing wounds and is a beneficial agent in reconstructions of soft and hard tissue. Furthermore, PRP enhances differentiation of epithelial cell and collagen bundle organization. Effects of growth factors in PRP on wound healing and successful results obtained with PRP treatment in other types of wound lead to the use of PRP for burn treatment.

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP therapy is a form of regenerative medicine where body's own cells, tissues or organs can be utilized by replacing, regenerating or engineering to restore or establish normal function. Various published articles demonstrating the role of PRP therapy in cosmetic procedures like scar revision, facial rejuvenation, stretch mark removal, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata and hair transplant were analyzed in depth to understand its efficacy based on facts and figures along with inputs from personal experience. PRP therapy is one of the most upcoming forms of regenerative medicine with the potential to improve the homeostasis of the treated cells and tissues, provided that harvesting standards are maintained.
