Brief summary
Prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial of the micronized dHACM injection as compared to the saline placebo injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis
Detailed description
Approximately 146 patients will be enrolled in this study. Each patient will receive 1 injection and be evaluated for efficacy and safety during a 12-month observation period. The study is expected to be completed within 36 months, inclusive of enrollment and follow-up of all subjects.
Interventions
