Materials and Methods: A group of 50 patients (69 feet) who underwent surgery for a symptomatic Morton's neuroma were retrospectively reviewed. Surgery was performed through a dorsal approach in all cases. When the nerve showed macroscopic thickening or the typical pseudoneuroma, it was resected; when the nerve had no macroscopic changes, the intermetatarsal ligament and any other potentially compressive structure were released. In 17 cases, adjacent claw toes were treated. Results: Nerve thickening (pseudoneuroma) were resected in 46 cases; in the other 23 cases, the nerve was preserved. Total relief from digital nerve related symptoms was obtained in all cases but one in each group. These patients were reoperated on 6 months later by performing a neurectomy in the case where the nerve had been preserved, and a more proximal resection in the case in which the nerve had been resected. Both patients finally achieved complete pain relief. Conclusion: When treating Morton's neuromas surgically, neurolysis can be a valid option when a pseudoneuroma has not developed. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3113\/fai.2008.0578","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,12]],"date-time":"2008-06-12T19:18:47Z","timestamp":1213298327000},"page":"578-580","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Neurectomy versus Neurolysis for Morton's Neuroma"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Carlos","family":"Villas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pamplona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Borja","family":"Florez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pamplona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matias","family":"Alfonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pamplona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-FAI.2008.0578","first-page":"35","volume":"44","author":"Loureda R","year":"2000","journal-title":"Rev.
