Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition that affects the nerves between the bones of the toes, usually between the third and fourth metatarsal. It is characterized by a burning sensation, tingling, or sharp pain in the affected area, often worsened by walking or wearing tight footwear. This condition is caused by irritation and thickening of the interdigital nerve, which can lead to excessive pressure and significant pain.

Micro-surgery to treat Morton’s neuroma is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pressure on the affected nerve and eliminate pain. Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure usually lasts less than an hour. During surgery, the podiatrist makes a small incision to access the nerve and remove the thickened tissue causing the compression. The microsurgical technique allows for precise intervention and minimizes damage to surrounding tissues.

Postoperative recovery from Morton’s neuroma microsurgery is generally quick and comfortable. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few weeks, experiencing significant pain relief and improvement in their quality of life.
