Abstract

Morton's neuroma is a frequent cause of metatarsalgia. Neuroma resection was the usual recommended surgical treatment. Failure rate of neurectomy can be as high as 14% to 21%, and treatment of recurrences is difficult. The authors have treated Morton's neuroma by neurolysis since 1985. They present their results in a group of 40 patients with 5 years follow up. Thirty-seven of 40 patients had an excellent result after neurolysis and 35 patients had normal toe sensitivity at the date of examination. Thirty-nine patients stated they would undergo the operation again if necessary.
