Plantar fasciitis is fairly common in orthopaedics out-patient department. Although, majority of the patients do well with conservative treatment, some patients continue to have painful feet despite a course of conservative management. These patients of plantar fasciitis are provided with other treatment modalities such as local corticosteroid but the chronic condition requires multiple dosages and are associated with adverse reaction. Autologous platelet rich plasma therapy is another modality for treatment of such cases and are not associated with adverse effects when compared with corticosteroid injection therapy. This prospective case series analyses the improvement of pain using visual analogue scale of plantar fasciitis patients treated with autologous platelet rich plasma over the course of 3 months. 30 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean VAS score at pre injection was 7.13 which signicantly reduced to 3.3 at 6 weeks post injection and 2.36 at 6 weeks post injection. There was signicant improvement in pain. This study is limited with small sample size and short follow up.

AbstractWound healing is a complex pathophysiological process, in which platelets play a crucial role. Platelet alpha-granules release growth factors to the wound bed; the factors are necessary in the healing process. In chronic wounds, such as poorly healing lower-leg ulcers of venous origin, there is decreased activity of multiple growth factors, so the concept of exogenous delivery of such factors seems a logical strategy. Platelet-rich plasma therapy in patients with lower-leg ulcers of venous origin combined with conventional treatment methods (previously ineffective in these patients) seems, based on our observation, an important adjunct leading to recovery.The aim of the study was to present an original method of autologous platelet-rich plasma application through the creation of a sort of “biological chamber” containing a concentrate of growth factors.Material and methods. The described therapy was implemented in 10 patients, who had been ineffectively treated for more than one year in the outpatient setting. Patients with exacerbation of inflammatory process, signs of wound infection and ankle brachial pressure index < 0.8 were excluded from the study. After the application of platelet-rich plasma, further treatment was continued with the use of moist therapy and compression therapy according to a uniform regimen.Results. Complete healing was achieved within 4-10 weeks from the beginning of the product administration in all patients.Conclusion. The presented method seems technically simple, effective and relatively inexpensive
