Prospective study for USG guided corticosteroid injection in chronic plantar fasciitis
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Plantar fasciitis is a most common condition of the foot that causes heel pain. Long term repetitive overstretching of the plantar fascia has been observed to cause micro-tears in the attachment site near the medial calcaneal tuberosity, which may lead to inflammatory reactions and heel pain. Method: A prospective study of 50 patients was undertaken. In the study we gave USG guided corticosteroid injection. All the patients were followed up at 1 week, 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year post injection and results were obtained. Results: The Mean VAS score showed significant improvement between baseline and 12-months follow-up No patients suffered any complication (local or systemic) till the end of their follow-up. There was no cross-over allowed in our study, however 4 out of 50 (8%) required a repeat injection. Conclusion: Under ultrasonography guidance injection Corticosteroid are safe and effective treatment options for chronic plantar fasciitis and should be used to reduce complications like fat pad atrophy.
