Meta AnalysisPlatelet-rich plasma has better mid-term clinical results than traditional steroid injection for plantar fasciitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

However, compared with traditional steroid injection, the clinical results of local PRP injection for PF patients remain controversial.
