Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate patients following Morton's neuroma excision using a dorsal approach.Methods: From January 2007 to December 2013, 23 feet of 21 patients underwent surgical excision of interdigital neuroma using a dorsal approach. Patients were evaluated at a mean of 43.4 months (range, 18-93 months) and asked for pain, activity limitations, footwear modifications, walking distance, numbness, and overall satisfaction with results of the surgery. American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) Lesser Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal Scale and Gianni interdigital neuroma clinical evaluation score were assessed.Results: None of the patients had surgical complications, and none of them required revision surgeries. The average AOFAS score was 93.7 (SD, 7.63; range, 78-100), and the neuroma score was 68.2 (SD, 7.78; range, 50-80). Excellent results were reported for 18 feet (78%), good results for 3 feet (13%), and fair results for 2 feet (9%). Minor pain, not impairing patients' daily life, was reported for 8 feet (35%), and 5 patients preferred using comfortable shoes following the surgery. Numbness was assessed in 14 feet (60%). All of the patients were completely satisfied with the surgery and expressed that they can recommend the procedure to others. Conclusion: Surgical excision of Morton's neuroma results in excellent and good outcome in majority of the patients for mid-long term follow-up. Minor pain and numbness do not affect patients' overall satisfaction and do not impair their daily life. Interdigital neuroma excision using a dorsal approach is a satisfactory treatment method for patients and surgeons.

Özet

Amaç: Dorsal yaklaşım ile morton nöroma (interdigital nöroma) eksizyonu uyguladığımız hastaların sonuçlarını değerlendirmek. Yöntemler: Eylül 2007 ve Aralık 2013 tarihleri arasında, 21 hastanın 23 ayağına dorsal yaklaşım ile morton nöroma eksizyonu uygulandı. Ortalama 43,4 ay sonra yapılan değerlendirmelerinde ağrı durumları, aktivite kısıtlanmaları, ayakkabı kullanımındaki problemler, yürüyüş mesafesi, his kaybı- uyuşukluk- hassasiyet durumları soruldu. Değerlendirmede AOFAS (Amerikan Ortopedik Ayak-Ayak Bileği Derneği) küçük parmaklar, metatarsofalangeal, interfalangeal skoru ve Giannini interdijital nöroma değerlendirme skoru kullanıldı.Bulgular: Hastaların hiçbirinde komplikasyon görülmedi ve tekrarlayan girişimlere ihtiyaç duyulmadı. AOFAS skoru, ortalama 93,7 ; Giannini interdijital nöroma değerlendirme skoru, ortalama 68,2 olarak bulundu. 18 ayakta (%78) mükemmel, 3 ayakta (%13) iyi, 2 ayakta (%9) vasat sonuçlar elde edildi. 8'inde (%35) günlük yaşantıyı etkilemeyen hafif şiddette ağrı, 14'ünde (%60) hafif-orta derecede his kaybı ve uyuşukluk tespit edildi. Ağrısı olan hastaların 5'i daha rahat ayakkabılar kullanmayı tercih ediyorlardı. Tüm hastalar cerrahi tedavinin sonuçlarından memnun olduklarını ve işlemi başkalarına tavsiye edebileceklerini bildirdiler. Sonuç: Dorsal yaklaşımla yapılan morton nöroma eksizyonunun, orta-uzun dönem takiplerinde yüksek oranda mükemmel ve iyi neticeler verdiğini gördük. Hafif şiddetteki ağrı ve uyuşukluk şikayeti, hastaların memnuniyetlerini ve günlük yaşantılarını etkilemiyordu. Dorsal yaklaşım ile yapılan interdijital nöroma eksizyonu, hastalar ve cerrahlar açısından yüz güldürücü ve tatmin edici bir tedavi olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
