Foot Pain Leading to Morton Neuroma and its Management
Received Date: Sep 01, 2022 / Published Date: Sep 26, 2022
Abstract
Morton's neuroma is a common pathology affecting the forefoot. This is nerve fibrosis, not a true neuroma. This is secondary to pressure or repetitive stimulation that results in thickening of the digital nerve located in the 3rd or 2nd intermetatarsal space. Treatment options include braces, steroid injections, and surgical excision, usually with a dorsal approach. Careful clinical evaluation, patient selection, preoperative counseling, and surgical technique are key to successful treatment of this condition.
