  • Title: [Ledderhose's disease. Report of 7 cases].
    Author: Dartoy C, Le Nen D, Riot O, Lefevre C, Courtois B.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1990 Nov; 127(11):533-6. PubMed ID: 2269689.
    Abstract:
    Ledderhose's syndrome, or plantar fibromatosis, is a rare fibrous dystrophy and the plantar equivalent of Dupuytren's disease. It occurs mainly in adult subjects, as a plantar fibrous nodule. The authors report 7 operated cases of Ledderhose's syndrome, including one in a 14-year-old adolescent. When the plantar nodule becomes symptomatic, surgery is the only means of treatment. Plantar aponeurotomy must then be as extensive as possible to prevent recurrent.
