Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and consistency of platelet-rich plasma in managing chronic plantar fasciitis.
Fifty patients with chronic plantar fasciitis symptoms for at least six months received a single dose of autologous PRP injection locally.
Patients were evaluated using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score at pre-injection and six months post-injection.
Scoring systems assessed pain, functionality, alignment, and endurance.
Statistically significant improvement in VAS and AOFAS scores was observed at six months (p<0.05) indicating reduced pain and increased functionality.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.
