The role of platelet-rich plasma in the pain relief and treatment of many orthopedic problems had gained lot of studies & practice. Yet, it hadn’t been practiced in our locality. Thus, the study of its role in the treatment of certain enthsiopathies (plantar faciitis, achillis tendinitis and lateral epicondylitis) had been planned for. A total of 63 cases of the three diseases were chosen for a case control study. They were divided into two groups: the case group who had been treated with local injection of autologous platelets rich plasma (prepared by the Trima accel cell separating machine) and the control group who were treated by local steroid injections. Pre and three post-treatment follow up of cases were done to assess the pain perception level using the simple visual analog scale (VAS). Results had shown a statistically significant reduction in pain among cases compared to control. These results were comparable to many studies elsewhere in the world. This had led us to conclude the advice to encourage this type of therapy on a large scale of patients in the future with more detailed further studies about. Introduction latelet-rich plasma (PRP), the plasma fraction of blood having a platelet concentration above baseline, had been used in orthopedics since the last few decades. Thousands of patients have gained benefits from this relatively safe therapeutic modality in many different problems like osteoarthritis, musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries (ligament, muscle and tendon tears) and tendinopathies. It is used either as the principal treatment or as an augmentation procedure (application after surgical repair or reconstruction. The properties of PRP are based on the production, by the platelets, storage in both alpha and beta granules and release of multiple growth and differentiating factors that help in alleviating pain and modulating inflammatory reaction after activation, where, after the initial burst, more than 95% of the growth factors are secreted within one hour, and the continuum of their synthesis and secretion for the remaining several days of their life span. These growth factors have a combined and complex interacting action on tissues to activate different sets of signaling pathways with the end result of ameliorating local inflammatory response. Early success in using PRP to treat chronic refractory tendinopathy has led to consideration of its use in the management of recalcitrant cases of plantar fasciitis. Local infiltration of PRP in Achilles tendinitis and lateral epicondylitis, had shown an improvement in pain relief and movement limitation, with all patients having at least moderate improvement and 96% of patients reporting mostly to complete improvement.
