Methods: A retrospective study, comprising 46 patients (58 feet) with Morton's neuroma who underwent either open excision (n = 24) or PILR (n = 22) from 2012 to 2022.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 25 consecutive patients (25 neuromas) with MRI- or US-confirmed MN who underwent DMMO of only the 4th metatarsal with deep transverse intermetatarsal ligament release with a minimum one-year follow-up after the failure of non-operative treatment.
