| Abstract |
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain in adults. Many treatment options exist. Platelets rich plasma (PRP) is derived from autologous blood and contains high concentration of growth factors necessary for tissue healing. The use of PRP in the treatment of plantar fasciitis is a fairly recent and evolving concept. The purpose of our work was to study the effectiveness of PRP treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 June 2015.
All research outputs
#4,053,951
of 24,040,389 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery
#100
of 1,331 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#26,401
of 166,448 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery
#4
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,040,389 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,331 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 166,448 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
