Minimally invasive Morton's intermetatarsal neuroma decompression.

Background: We present the results of an alternative technique for decompression of a Morton intermetatarsal neuroma that is minimally invasive and does not require endoscopic instrumentation.

Methods: Seventeen nerve decompressions were performed in 14 patients using an instrument designed to release the transverse carpal ligament for carpal tunnel syndrome. Nine women and five men (3 bilateral) had the procedure performed.
