    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric surgery
    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedic surgery

    Background:

    • Interdigital neuromas cause significant foot pain, often exacerbated by walking.
    • Surgical excision is a common treatment for persistent interdigital neuroma symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of interdigital neuroma excision.
    • To assess patient subjective improvement and persistent symptoms after surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 56 patients undergoing 76 interdigital neuroma excisions.
    • Data collected on preoperative symptoms, physical findings, and postoperative outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The most common preoperative symptom was plantar foot pain, with tenderness in the affected interspace.
    • Second and third interdigital spaces were equally affected.
    • Postoperatively, 65% reported local plantar tenderness, and 68% experienced numbness.
    • 80% of patients reported subjective improvement following surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Interdigital neuroma excision can lead to subjective improvement for a majority of patients.
    • Persistent local tenderness and numbness are common postoperative findings.
    • Further research may explore strategies to mitigate these residual symptoms.
