Comparative Study of Ultrasound - Guided PRP Injection vs Steroid Injection in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis: A Two - Year Review of 100 Cases

Dr. Vivekananda Patil | Dr. Apoorva Sharadrampure


Abstract: This study compares the efficacy and outcomes of ultrasound - guided Platelet - Rich Plasma (PRP) injection versus steroid injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis over two years. A total of 100 patients were enrolled and equally divided into two groups, with 50 patients receiving PRP injections and 50 receiving steroid injections. All patients were provided with a standardized protocol of medication and physiotherapy. This article evaluates clinical outcomes, pain relief, and functional improvement in both groups. PRP injections demonstrated superior long - term benefits, suggesting a shift towards regenerative approaches in managing chronic plantar fasciitis.
