Abstract

AJR:193, September 2009 OBJECTIVE The use of musculoskeletal ultrasound has been increasing. Ultrasound is well-established as a safe, cost-effective imaging tool in diagnosing and treating common musculoskeletal disorders. A musculoskeletal ultrasound program can enhance radiology practices by creating an environment that increases both patient and clinician satisfaction. The purpose of this new video article is to show that ultrasound is well-suited to evaluate for Morton’s neuroma. CONCLUSION The presentation will introduce the ultrasound appearance of Morton’s neuroma, give examples of how to differentiate it from intermetatarsal bursitis, and discuss a concise protocol used in the diagnosis of Morton’s neuroma or other causes of forefoot pain. Lastly, ultrasound’s real-time capability will be highlighted during the demonstration of a standardized ultrasound-guided injection protocol used to treat either Morton’s neuroma or intermetatarsal bursitis.
