Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy Associated With Platelet-rich Plasma Injection Platelet-rich Plasma in the Treatment of Refractory Plantar Fasciitis: a Pilot Study of the Effect on Pain and Tolerance

There are various treatments for plantar fasciitis, including physical therapy, orthopedic inserts or steroid infiltrations. However, it is estimated that about 20% of patients do not respond to first-line treatment \[Rompe, Sports Med Arthrosc Rev, 2009\]. It is therefore necessary to be able to integrate new treatments into the management of this condition. The objective of the study is to assess the effect on pain and the safety of the percutaneous ultrasound-guided tenotomy associated with a platelet rich plasma injection to treat refractory plantar fasciitis.
