Plantar fascial fibromatosis - what does this mean
Plantar fascial fibromatosis is a disorder that occurs when fibrous tissue forms on the sole of the foot. it is caused by an overgrowth of fibrous tissue in the fascia, the connective tissue that supports the muscles and bones of the feet. symptoms may include pain, tenderness, and a lump or nodule on the sole of the foot. treatment typically includes physical therapy and medications to reduce inflammation. surgery may be necessary in more severe cases.
What happens during the disease - plantar fascial fibromatosis
Plantar fascial fibromatosis is a condition in which the connective tissue in the plantar fascia, the band of tissue that runs along the sole of the foot, becomes thickened and forms nodules or lumps. this condition is thought to be caused by an overproduction of fibrous tissue due to an abnormal response of the body's immune system to repetitive stress or trauma to the area, such as from activities like running or jumping. other possible causes include genetics, diabetes, and obesity.
