Morton’s Neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a benign fibrotic thickening of a plantar interdigital nerve that is a response to irritation. Also known as Morton's metatarsalgia, Morton's entrapment, interdigital neuroma, intermetatarsal neuroma, and interdigital nerve compression syndrome, it is not a true neuroma, as the condition is a degenerative process rather than a neoplastic process. The mean age at presentation is 55 years. It is 4-15 times more common in women than in men.
