  • Title: [Surgical treatment of Morton's neuroma].
    Author: Hortemo GS, Finsen V.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 2003 Oct 23; 123(20):2888. PubMed ID: 14600717.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: We have resected the nerve when surgery is indicated for Morton's neuroma and wanted to compare our results with results reported after decompression. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 33 patients with 37 operated feet filled in a questionnaire 17 (8-27) months after surgery. They were asked to indicate their pain on a visual analogue scale (VAS: 0 = no pain, 100 = worst imaginable pain). RESULTS: Patients' mean age was 44 (17-76) at the time of operation. The average VAS score for pain was 81 (35-100) before operation and 7 (0-52) at review. 28 said the pain had disappeared (VAS 0). CONCLUSION: Three quarters of our patients had no pain at review. This is comparable to reported results after decompression.
