Abstract
Background: A persistent musculoskeletal condition called achilles tendinopathy in which frequently affects the tendon's insertion.
Aim and objectives: Comparing effectiveness and safety of high-resolution ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma injection versus 5% dextrose in the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinopathy.
Subjects and methods: Blinded randomized controlled trial, whereas 30 of diseased persons with chronic heel pain shared and equally distributed to double collections, each collection includes 15 of patients and Each of them is injected with dextrose 5% Or platelet rich plasma with evaluation of the pain.
Results: In group 1, the mean pain score after operation (VAS) (before) was 8.1 ± 1.22; the mean after was 2.35 ± 0.35. In group 2, the mean pain score after operation (VAS) (before) was 8.2 ± 1.30, and the mean after was 2.32 ± 0.42. In each group, the pain score after surgery showed a highly significant difference between before and after (VAS).
Conclusion: The Evaluated variables with the positive and negative results of the ultrasound-guided PRP injections, made well effective results and stable outcomes for the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinopathy.
