When fibrosis intersect: Association and risk factors between Peyronie's and Dupuytren's diseases.
Fr J Urol
November 2024
Département d'urologie, CHU de Rennes, Rennes, France.
Introduction: Peyronie's and Dupuytren's diseases are benign but are source of significant functional impairment leading to considerable suffering. In this study, the aim is to investigate the association between Peyronie's and Dupuytren's diseases as well as their common and specific risk factors.
Material And Methods: From July 2022 to March 2024, we conducted a multicentric observational study on 450 patients.
Ledderhose's Disease.
Cureus
July 2024
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Medicine of Oujda/Mohammed VI University Hospital of Oujda/Mohammed First University of Oujda, Oujda, MAR.
Article Synopsis
- Ledderhose disease, or plantar fibromatosis, is a rare condition marked by painful fibrous nodules in the foot's plantar fascia, causing mobility issues during activities like walking.
- A 60-year-old woman experienced significant pain and swelling in her foot, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by clinical examination and ultrasound imaging.
- The treatment focused on non-surgical options, including medications, orthotics, and physical therapy, demonstrating the effectiveness of personalized care in managing the condition.
Pain-Relieving Effects of Shockwave Therapy for Ledderhose Disease: An Ultrasound-Based Study of an Unusual Bilateral Case.

Department of Translational Research and New Technologies in Medicine and Surgery, University of Pisa, 56126 Pisa, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Ledderhose disease (LD) is a rare condition affecting the foot, characterized by painful nodules in the plantar aponeurosis, with limited success seen in conservative treatment options.
- Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has gained attention as a promising, non-invasive treatment for various musculoskeletal issues, though its application for LD has not been well-researched.
- A case study of a 48-year-old male showed that a specific ESWT protocol effectively relieved pain and improved his foot function and quality of life after three treatment sessions.
Soft Tissue Reconstruction With Ovine Forestomach Matrix After Wide Excision of Plantar Fibromatosis.
Eplasty
March 2023
Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, LA.
Article Synopsis
- Plantar fibromatosis, also known as Ledderhose disease, involves the formation of nodules on the plantar fascia due to overactive fibroblasts, leading to pain and reduced mobility.
- Conservative treatments often fail, necessitating surgical options like wide excision and reconstruction to address these growths.
- A novel staged reconstruction method using a biologic graft and skin grafting displayed promising functional results, offering a viable alternative to more complex free flap transfers.
A case study of radiotherapy treatment for Dupuytren's contracture and Ledderhose disease.

Dupuytren's contracture (DC) and Ledderhose disease (LD) are benign conditions of the fascia in the hands and feet respectively, which result in contracture of the digits. Radiation therapy has been proven effective in treating early-stage DC and LD; however, the problem is that there is a paucity of literature regarding radiation therapy treatment set-up for Dupuytren's and Ledderhose patients. The purpose of this case study was to demonstrate treatment set-up considerations of 6 and 9 MeV for DC and LD cases in radiotherapy (RT).
