Management of Chronic Plantar Fasciitis using Hyperosmolar Dextrose Injection
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Plantar fasciitis is most common cause of heel pain. More than 90% of patients are managed by conservative treatment. Chronic recalcitrant cases of plantar fasciitis not responding to other treatment modalities can be managed by Hyperosmolar dextrose injections with no or minimal complications. Hyperosmolar dextrose injection has been shown to increase Beta-1 platelet derived growth factor expression and upregulation of multiple mitogenic factors that may act as signaling mechanisms in tissue repair. We recommend Hyperosmolar dextrose solution for the management of chronic plantar fasciitis in place of local corticosteroid injection, so as to avoid the complications like rupture of plantar fascia and fat pad atrophy which are associated with local corticosteroid injections.
