Abstract:
Morton’s neuroma is a problem affecting the forefoot of human. It is fibrosis of the nerve but is not a true neuroma. Secondary to repetitive irritation or pressure leads to thickening of the digital nerve, located in the third or second intermetatarsal space.

Proper clinical assessment, evaluation, patient selection, pre-operative counselling and surgical technique are required for the successful management of this condition.
