Active Comparator
Platelet rich plasma group
Methylprednisolone group
platelet rich plasma (PRP) will be produced through whole blood centrifuge using a specific methodology in a strict aseptic setting. Then, blood will be collected and mixed with anticoagulant and Citrate-phosphate-dextrose adenine in a 10 volume blood to 1 volume anticoagulant ratio. The blood will be centrifuged for 10 minutes at 1000 rpm. Afterward, the plasma will be transferred to a new glass tube and centrifuged for 15 minutes at 3000 rpm. At the bottom of the tube, platelets will form a pellet. Finally, pure platelet-rich plasma will be obtained at a concentration of up to four times higher than baseline. Prior to the injection, calcium gluconate will be combined with PRP (at a ratio of 0.3 ml ca gluconate/ml PRP). The injection will be done once.
2 ml methylprednisolone acetate 40mg/ml (total 80mg methylprednisolone acetate) together with 1 ml lidocaine 2% (total 3 ml solution) will be directly injected under ultrasound guidance to the plantar fascia.This group serves as active comparative group. The injection will be done once.
