Article Abstract

Forefoot neuromas are a common pathology that is seen in a wide variety of patients. Although conservative treatment is successful with modification of shoes/inserts or injections, surgical intervention is occasionally needed to alleviate the discomfort. Most surgical procedures for neuromas have a good outcome. There are times when the outcome is not optimal and revision surgery may be needed. This article describes revision surgery techniques that may lead to an improved outcome. Also discussed is the opportunity to reduce recurrence through the understanding of neuroma biology, diagnosis, and treatment options.
