Abstract
Thirty-five patients who had undergone neurolysis for Morton's neuroma were reviewed at a mean of 21.4 months. Those patients who had received diagnostic lidocaine (local anesthetic) injections as an evaluation tool before the operation did extremely well after this operation. Overall patient satisfaction was found to be extremely high, with 17 of 35 patients enjoying complete relief of their pain and 12 of 35 reporting minimal discomfort with activity. The likelihood of persistent symptoms seemed to be related to the presence of associated foot disorders.
