Abstract
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, highly prevalent in orthopedic practices. The present study aims to investigate current evidence on Platelet-Rich Plasma on plantar fasciitis treatment, comparing biologic intervention with other minimally invasive options. Despite a lack of standardization regarding process, delivery methods and specific indications of treatment, short and long term benefits have been demonstrated.To realize such investigation, this article has basis in researching some scientific publications that discuss the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma therapy. And its short, medium and long-term results when compared with other minimally invasive treatments modalities. As an important outcome, there was a significant clinical improvement, effective and lasting for patients between 6 and 12 months after implementing platelet-rich therapy. Although, like mentioned above, a lack of standardization regarding obtention, processing, and delivery of such therapy is yet an issue.
Keywords: Plantar fasciitis, heel pain, platelet-rich plasma
