Intermetatarsal ligament section assisted with sonography for the percutaneous surgery of Morton's disease: Cadaveric study.
Foot and Ankle Surgery : Official Journal of the European Society of Foot and Ankle Surgeons 2022 March 18
BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment of Morton's neuroma remains controversial. Several surgical techniques have been described including percutaneous transection of the deep metatarsal transverse ligament (DMTL).
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous release of the DMTL under ultrasound guidance for the treatment of Morton's syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: Percutaneous release of the DMTL was performed with ultrasound guidance in 48 intermetatarsal spaces of 16 cadaveric specimens. Specimens were then dissected to assess the completion of the release and the presence of any injuries of the neurovascular and tendinous adjacent structures.
RESULTS: The DMTL was visualized with ultrasound in all cases. Complete release of the ligament was achieved in 87.5% (42/48) cases. One case of interdigital nerve injury was found.
CONCLUSION: Percutaneous release of DMTL with ultrasound guidance for the treatment of Morton's disease has an acceptable rate of complications but care must be taken to ensure the complete release of the ligament.
