Assessment of the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound guided injection of corticosteroid for plantar fasciitis at Thai Binh Medical University Hospital. Method: Descriptive, controlled study. A total of 60 patients with plantar fasciitis that were divided randomly into two groups. A group of ultrasound guided injection of corticosteroid with Depomedrol that consisted of 30 patients. A group of controls was treated with oral non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. These groups wered followed and compared about the effectiveness and safety on one day, 10 days, 30 days. Results: In group of corticosteroid injections, mean VAS score at 10 days and 30 days were reduced (p<0,001). At 30 days, mean VAS score in group of corticosteroid injection was low (0,2 point). At 10 days and 30 days, mean VAS score in group of corticosteroid injection was lower than in controls (p<0,001). In group of corticosteroid injections, FAAM score at 10 days and 30 days were increased (p<0,001). At 30 days, FAAM score in group of corticosteroid injection was 97%. At 10 days and 30 days, FAAM score in group of corticosteroid injection was higher than in controls (p<0,001). There was a patient who was changed in pulse (account for 3,3%). There were four patients who had more pain (account for 13,3%). All patients were not any other symptoms. Conclusion: Ultrasound guided injection of corticosteroid improved clear VAS score at 10 days and 30 days. This therapy also had the signifcant improvement on FAAM score at 10 days and 30 days.
