all forefoot s pain are not morton s Neuroma a pictorial review of the forefoot musculoskeletal conditions mimicking Mortons Neuroma
International Journal of Radiology & Radiation Therapy, 2018Co-Authors: A Mehta, A Chourasia, C Urigo, A SahuAbstract:Introduction Ultrasound US and Magnetic resonance imaging MRI of the foot are often requested by foot and ankle specialists or general physicians GPs and the reason for these referral requests to Musculoskeletal Radiologists is usually forefoot and midfoot pain The request card for these patients usually states Morton rsquo s Neuroma as a working suspected diagnosis However there are many other conditions that can mimic Morton rsquo s Neuroma Materials and methods This article demonstrates multiple conditions that we have come across in our practice Between July and February we received consecutive patients from GP and specialists for ultrasound of foot with various clinical suspicions Standard ultrasonography of the foot was performed using high frequency probes by consultant muskuloskeltal radiologists Results Various differential diagnoses included intermetatarsal bursitis stress frature degenerative changes of the metatarsophalangeal and tarsometatarsal joints inflammatory arthropathy causing synovitis and joint effusions turf toe sesamoiditis freiberg rsquo s disease plantar plate disruption tenosynovitis of flexor or extensor tendons Additionally benign conditions have been detected at such as soft tissue disorders ganglions calluses adventitial bursitis plantar fibromatosis and haemangioma Furthermore malignant conditions such as giant cell tomour of tendon sheath and schwannomas were also detected Conclusion To improve the diagnosis of forefoot non specific foot pain healthcare professionals need to collect a complete and careful history perform thorough physical examinations and to be more aware about the possible conditions that lead to foorfoot foot pain This will avoid unnecessary visits to GPs orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists

should the webspaces be a review area for Mortons Neuroma on computed tomographies performed for metatarsalgia
Polish Journal of Radiology, 2021Co-Authors: Christine Azzopardi, Emily Smith, J Kho, Steven James, Rajesh BotchuAbstract:Purpose Morton's Neuroma-bursal complex (MNBC) is a common cause of metatarsalgia which is usually investigated with ultrasound. Patients presenting with metatarsalgia may also have computed tomography (CT) as part of their investigation to look for alternative causes such as stress fracture. Although CT is considered to be of most use in assessing the bones in this scenario, the soft tissues can also be reviewed. This study analyses whether MNBC can reliably be detected on CT in patients presenting with metatarsalgia. Material and methods 43 cases were identified on the Radiology Information System where both CT and ultrasound had been undertaken to assess for metatarsalgia. Two blinded consultant musculoskeletal radiologists retrospectively reviewed the CTs to determine the presence or absence of MNBC and this was compared to the ultrasound reports. Results There was a mean sensitivity of 45.5% and mean specificity of 62.5%. Mean accuracy was 52.3% and Youden's index was 0.080. There was fair agreement between the two reviewers with Cohen's κ of 0.62. Conclusions Sensitivity and specificity of CT for MNBC are poor. CT should not be used as an isolated modality to make a definite diagnosis regarding the presence or absence of a MNBC.
