Shetty M.S, et al.) (Total 60 patients), (Raymond Rocco Monto et al.), (Babak Vahdatpour, et al.) (Total 32 patients), {Kowshik Jain Philip, et al.) (Total 46 patients), (Mohammed A Mortada et al.) (Total 50 patients), (Acosta-Olivo C et al.) (Total 28 patients), in all studies the patients were divided into 2 groups group a for steroid injection with mean age of 47.13 years and group b for plateletrich plasma (PRP) with mean age of 44.95 years old
There is a debate in the literature that will probably modify the treatment modalities is the research concerning the pathophysiology of plantar fasciitis. it is widely believed that plantar fasciitis results from repeated micro-trauma due to overuse, which results in micro-tears of the tissue substance until a macro injury occurs [15]
Summary
Plantar fasciitis is a disorder that results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot [1]. Pain is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest [2]. Pain is frequently brought on by bending the foot and toes up towards the shin and may be worsened by a tight Achilles tendon [3]. In about a third of people both legs are affected [1]. There are no fevers or night sweats
