    "second webspace had worse outcomes than third webspace neuromas ..."

    Think maybe incorrect preoperative Diagnosis?

    I have not seen THAT many 2nd interspace neuromas over the years, but have seen quite a few failed 2nd interspace neuromas resections!!!!
    Coincidence? Maybe.

    My knee jerk response would be that a certain percentage of 2nd Interspace neuromas are done NOT on neuroma patients but on patients with 2nd MTPJ pathology or even non classic Tarsal Tunnel syndromes.

    I agree with Dr. Arbes. We are fortunate to have an excellent radiology dept. at our hospital with high end diagnostic ultrasound equipment and those experienced to read it. They frequently find an intermetatarsal bursa with no neuroma. We have them inject it under US guidance when found. They feel to the patient just like a neuroma. We also find that the US is very good at finding neuromas but not nearly as good at finding inflammatory joint changes. MRI does that better. We recently had a patient seen elsewhere and diagnosed with a 2nd space neuroma that was injected with only brief relief. An MRI showed inflammatory changes in the surrounding soft tissue and MTP joint effusion. He had only mild psoriasis but appears to have been experiencing the first signs of psoriatic arthritis. 2nd MTP joint predislocation syndrome is often misdiagnosed as a 2nd space neuroma.

    I don't recall who said it first but, "The wrong operation, perfectly executed is doomed before the first incision is made."

    One more thing:

    "BACKGROUND: We examined a large cohort of patients who had interdigital neurectomy and evaluated their clinical outcomes by using a previously developed scoring system as well as a visual analog scale (VAS). In addition, we wanted to identify risk factors that may lead to poorer outcomes. "

    COHORT? Think they could have used a different description, perhaps sampling, population, group, "number", anything.

    LARGE COHORT? I picture a large group of ex military men limping around the mall!

    Hi Steve

    I'm interested. Is not "cohort" the standard descriptor for a sampled population in such a study in the US.A.?

    All the best

    13 patients?
    This is too small of a sample to have a study.
    This is a study of patients over a two year period. If you can't come up with more than 13 patients for your study then you shouldn't be performing a study.

    5 patients were satisfied with major reservations.
    What the heck does that mean.

    I hope my tax dollars didn't help pay for this.

  12. Last week I saw a 62 year old man that I performed a left 3rd intermetatarsal neurectomy on over 25 years ago. He hasn't had pain in this area of his foot since the surgery and thought he thought it was a great surgery for him. Good to see these people after all these years to know that I must have been doing something right during that first year of practice.;)

    When only half of the cohort send back the questionnaire that tells you something.

    Patients who are unhappy are something like 8 times as likely to respond.

    Cheers

    I am treating a female with a previously diagnosed 2nd interspace neuroma who received 7 sclerosing injections with temporary relief several months ago, however the pain has recurred. I noticed a positive tinel sign at the tibial nerve at the hindfoot, so ordered an MRI. I don't want to perform neuroma surgery if its tarsal tunnel syndrome instead. I'm awaiting the MRI results.

    Does anyone have any recent research on the difference between a dorsal or plantar incision?
