Interdigital neuromas: current state of the art--surgical

Emmanouil D Stamatis et al. Foot Ankle Clin. 2004 Jun.

Abstract

Several reports demonstrated that the interdigital neuroma is a form of entrapment neuropathy. Nonoperative measures may provide satisfactory results to some patients, but surgical treatment seems to provide more predictable results and lasting pain relief. Neurectomy remains the most commonly used procedure for the treatment of interdigital neuritis through a plantar or a dorsal approach. Outcome results after neurectomy note a failure rate of 2% to 35%.
