Advanced imaging of MN is evolving including ultrasonography. The current study aimed to analyze the relationship between ultrasonographic findings and symptoms, clinical data, and operative findings in a subgroup of patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We evaluated physical examination, ultrasonographic findings, symptoms, and in a subgroup, the operative findings for Morton\u2019s neuroma. We analyzed the symptoms, the findings on physical examination, and ultrasonography data and performed a statistical correlation between them. A total of 175 patients were seen for suspected Morton\u2019s neuroma during the last 7 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Neuropathic pain of the toes was reported in 63% of patients. Presence of ultrasonographic findings suggesting Morton\u2019s neuroma was observed in 77% of cases. A mild significant relationship between neuropathic pain and positive ultrasonographic findings was observed. We found a strong correlation between ultrasonographic and clinical evaluation, but more than half with clinical negative Morton\u2019s neuroma had positive findings at ultrasonography. In the subgroup of operatively treated patients (n = 44) surgery confirmed Morton\u2019s neuroma in all patients who had positive ultrasonography findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The current study suggests that the association of ultrasonographic evaluation and clinical evaluation can be very useful for the management of Morton\u2019s neuroma.
