| Abstract | ||
| Background: Plantar The majority of cases of fasciitis resolve on their own. Although the majority of patients get a spontaneous resolution of their symptoms within a year of their inception, a small percentage endure a chronic course that significantly impacts their daily lives, quality of life, and health care costs. Plantar fasciitis is a condition whose cause and treatment are still a mystery. Plantar fasciitis, despite its inflammatory connotation, is really a degenerative disease caused by microtrauma that wears down the plantar fascia at its origin. A relatively new method for treating plantar fasciitis involves injecting PRP locally. TGF, VEFG, and PDGF are only a few of the growth factors, cytokines, and interleukins found in PRP. Plantar fasciitis is alleviated by the growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines found in PRP, which start the repair process at the site of degeneration of plantar fascia. The optimal site for a platelet-rich plasma injection is the most painful part of the afflicted heel. Objective: Aiming to assess the efficacy of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in chronic plantar fasciitis, this review article will center on the causes, risk factors, and current practices in the treatment of this condition. Final thoughts: A frequent repetitive strain injury (RSI) in the workplace or athletics is PF. When conservative treatments and steroid injections fail to alleviate persistent plantar fasciitis, a PRP injection may be considered. Both the amount of discomfort and the thickness of the planter fascia were significantly reduced. During the follow-up,. | ||
