- Abstract
Background: Resistant plantar fasciopathy is a common orthopedic problem. Aim: Comparing two different methods of treatment. Methods: Fifty patients with chronic resistant plantar fasciopathy were divided into two groups. The first included 23 patients treated by endoscopic release of plantar fascia (EPF) and the second included 27 patients treated by injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Results: In the EPF group, the average VAS improved from 8.28 to 2.35. The average AOFAS improved from 65 to 94. In the PRP group, average VAS improved from 8.22 to 2.9 and the average AOFAS improved from 66 to 92.
