Morton neuroma is a paroxysmal neuralgia form pain usually occurs at the 3rd finger and sole of the foot. The patient mostly suffer from pain while walking. In this report a 40-year-old man with Morton neuroma who has a stress fracture in the other leg because of not using the affected painful foot.

Purpose: The interdigital nerve neuroma of the forefoot is commonly known as Morton's Neuroma. Many authors have described and treated this condition before and after Morton. This study aims to investigate the past scientific literature to better understand what comprehension and treatments have been used to master this pathology.

Focal nerve injuries are often associated with neuropathic pain. Preclinical research suggests altered neuroimmune signalling underlies such neuropathic pain; however, its cause remains poorly understood in humans. In this multicentre cohort study, we describe the local cellular and molecular signature of neuropathic pain at the lesion site, using Morton's neuroma as a human model system of neuropathic pain (n = 22; 18 women) compared with nerves from participants without nerve injury (n = 11; 4 women).

Article Synopsis
- Morton neuroma (MN) is a common condition diagnosed through various subjective features and physical tests, and this systematic review aimed to evaluate their diagnostic accuracy.
- The review included 9 studies and found that a patient's report of clicking is highly specific for MN, while the modified webspace tenderness test is highly sensitive in ruling it out.
- Despite the findings, the review's conclusions are limited by a small number of studies and potential bias, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive research on MN diagnostics.*

Myriad pathologies affect the lesser toes. In this article, the focus is on the challenging radiological differential diagnosis of plantar plate (PP) degeneration and tear versus webspace neuroma. It is now understood that PP tear and even degeneration without tear is most accompanied by reactive pericapsular soft tissue thickening (pseudoneuroma), which contributes to neuritic symptoms that are often indistinguishable from webspace neuroma.
