A staged treatment program for Morton

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Podiatry
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Morton's interdigital neuroma is a common cause of forefoot pain.
  • Conservative treatments are often the first line of therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a three-stage treatment protocol for Morton's interdigital neuroma.
  • To assess patient outcomes and satisfaction with the staged approach.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 115 patients with symptomatic Morton's neuroma.
  • Stage 1: Patient education, footwear modification, metatarsal padding.
  • Stage 2: Corticosteroid/local anesthetic injection.
  • Stage 3: Surgical excision of the neuroma.

Main Results:

  • 85% of patients reported improvement with the staged treatment.
  • 21% of patients ultimately required surgical intervention.
  • 96% of surgically treated patients achieved satisfactory outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The staged treatment protocol for Morton's neuroma is highly effective.
  • Patient satisfaction is high, with a low rate of surgical necessity.
  • This conservative-to-surgical approach offers a successful management strategy.
