Autologous Whole-Blood Versus Corticosteroid Local Injection in Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis: A Randomized Single Blind Placebo-Controlled Study.

Background: Autologous whole-blood intralesional injection has attracted interest as a possible means of treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis. We contrasted its effectiveness with that of corticosteroids, which have a longer history of success in treating tendinopathies such as plantar fasciitis. In order to monitor the disease's progress naturally, we also compared them with a placebo.
