Abstract
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has created a huge significance in several medical grounds, including orthopaedics. Numerous studies have shown that Platelet Rich Plasma can be used in the management of bony as well as soft tissue injuries. Lately, Platelet Rich Plasma has been used for chronic enthesopathies like tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, in sports medicine and also in cartilage regeneration. In this study we assessed and reported the efficacy of ultrasound guided autologous Platelet Rich Plasma and Corticosteroid injection
