Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction and Objectives Among all the known tendinopathies plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow account for most casesCorticosteroid injections considered the treatment of choice for tendinopathies Emerging therapeutic modalities is the use of platelet rich plasma for tendinopathies having the advantage of being autologous and concentrated that are rich in growth factor proteins The study was done to find the efficacy of these two modalitiesMaterials and Methods The study was done at Rajarajeshwari Medical College and Hospital satisfying the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria In this study 3 ml of the extracted PRP or 40 mg of prednisolone was injected into the affected area Postintervention pain and functional assessment at 2 weeks 6 weeks 3 months and 6 months with visual analogue score and ankle hind foot scale and foot and ankle disability index scoreResults The age in our study was 18 to 55 years the mean in the steroid group was 37 3 and in the PRP group was 3743 right side was most commonly involved 52 In both the groups there was significant difference in the VAS scores pIn both the groups there was significant difference pInterpretation and Conclusion PRP has better effect pain in patients with longer duration as compared to local steroids but the difference is not statistically significantThe making of PRP is cumbersome but the patients did prefer to steroids due to the adverse effectsKeywords FADI Foot and ankle disability index scorePRP Plateletrich plasma
