Perforating Fat Injections for Plantar Fasciosis

NCT02855983 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 16

Last updated 2020-01-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The specific aim of this study is to determine whether perforating fat injections to the plantar fascia is a safe method to improve pain, quality of life, and reduce plantar fascia thickness for patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. We will also correlate the intrinsic fat properties of adipose stem cells (ie. growth factors) to the improvement in pain, quality of life, and plantar fascia thickness over time.

Conditions

  • Plantar Fascia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fat Grafting

Grafting of autologous fat tissue is a minimally invasive surgical technique that starts with the harvest of fat tissue from the abdomen or thighs using liposuction through incisions less than 2mm in length. The lipoaspirate is then processed to concentrate the adipose fraction and reinjected into the graft site. This surgical procedure involves the immediate transplantation of a patient's own tissue in a single operative procedure.
