Morton's neuroma: a microscopic evaluation.

C E Graham, D M Graham

    Foot & Ankle
    |November 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Microscopic analysis of interdigital neuroma reveals nerve changes consistent with entrapment. These alterations in nerve size, fascicles, and blood vessels correlate with the intermetatarsal ligament

    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric medicine
    • Nerve pathology
    • Foot anatomy

    Background:

    • Interdigital neuroma is a common cause of forefoot pain.
    • Its exact pathophysiology is debated, with entrapment being a leading theory.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To microscopically evaluate interdigital neuroma.
    • To correlate nerve changes with anatomical landmarks, specifically the intermetatarsal ligament.

    Main Methods:

    • Microscopic examination of 24 interdigital nerves.
    • Assessment of nerve size, perineural width, fascicle diameter, and intrafascicular blood vessels.
    • Evaluation at six cross-section areas, noting the relationship with the distal edge of the intermetatarsal ligament.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Significant changes in nerve diameter, fascicle characteristics, and vascularity were observed distally.
    • These distal changes were directly related to the level of the intermetatarsal ligament.

    Conclusions:

    • Microscopic findings support interdigital neuroma as an entrapment neuropathy.
    • The intermetatarsal ligament's distal edge is a critical anatomical reference for understanding neuroma development.
