Abstract
Chronic plantar fasciitis is one of the leading causes of heel pain and medical professionals can find it difficult to treat successfully over the long term. Due to any factor which increases tension on the medial calcaneal tuberosity insert (e.g., running, walking, prolonged standing, pes cavus, pes planus, overpronation), results in local inflammation. While the results of the use of platelet-rich plasma to treat chronic plantar fasciitis were encouraging, there is little documentation that compares the long-term effectiveness of chronic plantar fasciitis with steroid injection. It stimulates wound healing, bone healing, and tendon healing by releasing platelet-derived growth factors. This prospective randomized study is conducted to compare the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma and local injection of corticosteroid.
