Botulinum toxin A versus platelet rich plasma ultrasound-guided injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis: A randomised controlled trial.

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injections have proven effective in clinical trials for plantar fasciitis treatment but have not been directly compared. We aimed to compare clinical outcomes in patients undergoing PRP or BTX-A injections.

Methods: We performed a randomised controlled trial (59 patients; 1-year follow-up) to assess efficacy, using pain and functional scales (VAS, AOFAS Hindfoot-scale and FAAM questionnaire) and fascia thickness reduction, in control and single ultrasound-guided BTX-A or PRP injection groups.

Synovial Chondromatosis in the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint: A Case Report of this Uncommon Condition and Review of Current Literature.

Introduction: Synovial osteochondromatosis is a rare condition characterized by the formation of multiple cartilaginous nodules, which involves metaplastic changes of the synovium and is commonly found in larger joints. Occurrence in foot and ankle is uncommon, even less in metatarsophalangeal joints.

Case Report: A 54-year-old woman with primary synovial osteochondromatosis in the first metatarsophalangeal joint was treated by complete excision plus synovectomy.
