¹Hospital de San Rafael, Barcelona, Spain.

International Orthopaedics

|January 1, 1992

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

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.

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.
