RESUMO
Background. Plantar fibromatosis, or Ledderhose disease, presents as plantar fascia nodules caused by hyperactive proliferating fibroblasts. These benign tumorous growths can persist causing pain as well as reduced mobility and quality of life. Plantar fibromatosis may not respond to conservative nonsurgical treatment resulting in surgical intervention, including wide excision of the affected tissue and subsequent reconstruction. Reconstruction of the full-thickness plantar defect is challenging given the location, and recurrence rates are relatively high. Here we present a staged reconstruction of plantar fibromatosis following wide excision using a biologic graft to regenerate the neodermis and subsequent skin grafting. This reconstructive approach provided an alternative to free flap transfer, with excellent functional outcomes.
