“…PRP is a plasma fraction of autologous blood having a high concentration of platelets compared to the baseline value [5][6][7]. The platelet α granules are rich in growth factors that play an essential role in tissue healing such as endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-β, and platelet-derived growth factor.…”

BackgroundPlantar fasciitis is the most common cause of foot pain. Patients with plantar fasciitis typically present with 'first step pain,' which tends to decrease with activity and worse with heavy use. This study determines the effect of ultrasound-guided, single-dose, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. Materials and methodsIt was a quasi-experimental trial carried out in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, from March 2019 to March 2022. A total of 148 patients diagnosed with chronic plantar fasciitis were selected as samples. A total of 75 patients were allocated to group A (intra-lesional injection of autologous PRP with conservative management) and 73 patients to Group B (only conservative management). Both groups of patients were allocated to conservative management with exercises, shoe modification, activities of daily living (ADLs) instruction, and oral paracetamol. ResultsThis study shows that in group A, the mean visual analog scale (VAS) score significantly reduced to 1.47±0.51 after six months of single-dose PRP injection (p<0.001). In group B, the VAS score also decreased substantially after conservative treatment. Though in groups A and B, pain reduction was significant, in group A, the pain was decreased more compared to group B and statistically significant differences were found between the two groups at the 12th week and 24th week. The foot function index (FFI) scores decreased significantly in group A after a single dose PRP injection, compared with group B treated with conventional therapy. In group A, FFI scores decreased from 49.09±5.72 to 7.67±3.41. The study revealed a significant difference between study groups in the 12th week and 24th week regarding FFI scores. ConclusionUltrasound-guided intra-lesional autologous PRP Injection is safe and effective and recommended in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis, especially in recalcitrant cases after the failure of conservative treatment and corticosteroid injection.
