Summary

Surgery for Morton's neuroma in 75 patients over 10 years showed 94% satisfactory clinical results. Pathological studies confirmed the irritative nature of the neuroma, with associated anomalies present in 80% of cases.

Area of Science:

  • Podiatric surgery
  • Orthopedic research
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Morton's neuroma is a common cause of foot pain.
  • Surgical intervention is a treatment option for refractory cases.
  • Understanding associated anomalies and lesion nature is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment for Morton's neuroma.
  • To investigate the prevalence of associated anomalies in patients undergoing surgery.
  • To characterize the pathological nature of Morton's neuroma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 75 surgical cases of Morton's neuroma.
  • Minimum follow-up period of nine months.
  • Pathological examination of excised neuroma tissue.

Main Results:

  • 94% of patients reported satisfactory clinical results post-surgery.
  • Associated anomalies were identified in 80% of the operated feet.
  • Pathological analysis indicated an irritative etiology for the neuroma.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical management of Morton's neuroma yields high patient satisfaction rates.
  • The frequent presence of associated anomalies suggests a multifactorial etiology.
  • The irritative nature of the lesion is supported by pathological findings.
