Plantar fibromas require aggressive surgical removal of the mass and plantar fascia to prevent recurrence. This paper reviews literature and clinical cases of recurrent plantar fibromatosis, offering long-term follow-up insights.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Dermatopathology
  • Podiatric Medicine

Background:

  • Plantar fibromas are benign fibroblastic tumors affecting the plantar fascia.
  • Recurrence is common following surgical intervention.
  • Accurate diagnosis and complete excision are critical for successful treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing literature on plantar fibromatosis.
  • To present clinical illustrations of recurrent cases.
  • To provide long-term follow-up data on management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search on plantar fibromatosis and its recurrence.
  • Analysis of clinical case studies with long-term patient follow-up.
  • Review of surgical techniques and outcomes for recurrent disease.

Main Results:

  • Aggressive surgical resection of the fibroma and involved plantar fascia is essential to minimize recurrence.
  • Recurrent plantar fibromatosis presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management.
  • Long-term follow-up demonstrates the importance of thorough surgical technique.

Conclusions:

  • Complete surgical excision of plantar fibromas, including affected fascia, is crucial for preventing recurrence.
  • Understanding the patterns of recurrence is vital for effective patient management.
  • This review underscores the need for meticulous surgical planning and execution in treating plantar fibromatosis.
