After having surgery to remove a plantar fibromatosis is a person able to stand 8 hours as a cashier? If not what is to be expected along the way during recovery >walking, standing? Sorry, but no chance you'll be standing until at least 3 weeks after the surgery. The tumor is amongst tendons that provide structure to your foot; it is very important that they fully heal, with zero weight bearing. You'll be on crutches 100% of the time for the first three weeks, when you doctor will reassess you. It will be at least two months before you are fully walking on both feet.

Plantar Fibromatosis is usually Ledderhose disease (not always, though). Your doctor can tell you if it's Ledderhose. Certainly after the surgery, you will be disabled for about two months. If the tumors are larger, or there are more of them, you might be disabled for longer. Certainly, your life will be altered after your first tumor.
