What is Morton's neuroma?
Morton’s neuroma also called interdigital neuroma or plantar neuroma is a degeneration of the plantar digital nerve accompanied by fibrosis or thickening around the nerve. It is usually located between the third and fourth metatarsal, although sometimes it can occur between the second and third metatarsal.
It is a fairly common pathology in the population, its incidence is higher in women than in men and it can occur at any age.
What are the symptoms of Morton's neuroma?
If you complain of a mechanical pain, similar to an electric shock that increases in the afternoon or a strong pain after standing for a while, or if your pain is more intense depending on the shoes you wear and worsens with the use of narrow-toed shoes, we may have the symptoms of Morton’s neuroma.
The pain largely affects the front part of the foot corresponding to the toes in contact with the neuroma, since when we speak of neuroma we speak of a thickened nerve.
Some activities such as running, walking, or dancing increase toe flexion and overload in the area. This indicates that this overload has a direct relationship with the neuroma.
TREATMENT OF MORTON'S NEUROMA IN MALAGA WITH ULTRASOUND-GUIDED SURGERY
Until now, traditional surgery completely sectioned the digital neuroma to remove the neuroma, but now
ultrasound-guided Morton’s neuroma surgery offers an alternative to completely free the course of the nerve and any points of neuroma compression.
Our team of doctors with extensive experience and highly qualified, Dr. Víctor Hidalgo and Dr. Rubén Montes, have implemented ultrasound surgery in Malaga as an innovative and precise alternative to address this condition effectively.
For this, in ultrasound-guided surgery for Morton’s neuroma, it is sometimes necessary to perform radiofrequency on the nerve and no sutures are required; it is performed under local anesthesia and with continued guidance by a high-resolution ultrasound.
In summary, we are faced with a highly resolving and ultra-minimally invasive technique for the patient.
How is the recovery from MORTON'S NEUROMA ultrasound surgery in Malaga?
In the recovery with this technique, the patient walks out of the office or operating room and no stitches are used. The return to work is progressive, depending on the professional activity of each person.
It is an ultra minimally invasive technique that greatly shortens the time it takes to
recovery, each postoperative period will be duly informed to each patient according to the state of their pathology and activity.
In most cases, the use of crutches is not necessary.
