| Abstract |
Introduction: Current standard treatment for patients with symptomatic Morbus Ledderhose (plantar fibromatosis) is resection. The recurrence rate after resection and the clinical outcome however are unclear. Aim of this study was to assess the recurrence rate after a wide resection for a M. Ledderhose and to analyze the clinical and radiological long-term outcome. Method: This retrospective case series included 8 patients, who underwent wide resection of a symptomatic M. Ledderhose at our institution. Mean age at time of surgery was 42 years. Three of the patients were men. We assessed the AOFAS (American Orthopeadic foot and ankle score) and FFI (foot functional index) at last follow up. Further, MRI was acquired preoperative and at last follow-up, analyzing signs of recurrence. Results: Mean follow up was 7.7 years (2 - 12years). At follow up, mean AOFAS was 82 ± 21, mean FFI was 22 ± 28. In the physical exam at follow up, no patient showed signs of recurrence. On follow up MRI, no signs of recurrence were found. Conclusion: Good clinical outcome without any case of recurrence was found at long-term follow up after wide resection of M. Ledderhose. |
