The comparison of the effect of corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of plantar fasciitis.

Introduction: In this study, the results of local injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and corticosteroids in the treatment of plantar fasciitis were compared.

Patients And Methods: Sixty patients who were diagnosed as plantar fasciitis and treated conservatively for at least 3 months and had no response to conservative treatment modalities were involved in this study. The first 30 consecutive patients were treated by local injection of 2 mL of 40 mg Methylprednisolone with 2 mL of 2% prilocaine (metilprednizalone) and the second 30 patients were treated by injecting 3 mL PRP after 2 mL of 2% prilocaine injection.

The patellofemoral kinematics in patients with untreated developmental dislocation of the hip suffering from patellofemoral pain.

Purpose: This study reviews the dynamic patellofemoral CT results of 39 patients with untreated developmental dislocation of the hip who are suffering from knee pain.

Method: The mean age of the patients with unilateral developmental dislocation of the hip was 33.3 (±7.

The evaluation of hip muscles in patients treated with one-stage combined procedure for unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip: part II: isokinetic muscle strength evaluation.

Background: To assess the isokinetic muscle strength (IMS) of hip flexor and extensor muscles in patients treated with one-stage combined procedure for developmental dysplasia of the hip and analyze the effect of the status of hip muscles on IMS.

Methods: Twenty-two patients were included in the study. The mean age was 154.

The evaluation of hip muscles in patients treated with one-stage combined procedure for unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip: part I: MRI evaluation.

Background: To assess the status of hip flexor and extensor muscles with MRI in patients with unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after walking age who were treated with one-stage combined procedure.

Methods: Twenty-two patients operated upon with one-stage combined procedure for unilateral DDH were included in this study. All patients underwent complete tenotomy of the iliopsoas muscle hindering open reduction.
