Morton’s neuroma, in musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound, is a common condition characterized by the thickening of nerve tissue, most often between the third and fourth toes. This benign but painful enlargement results from nerve compression and irritation, frequently caused by repetitive stress or ill-fitting footwear. Ultrasound is a crucial diagnostic tool for visualizing the neuroma, aiding in accurate identification and differentiation from other forefoot pathologies.
Early detection through ultrasound helps guide effective management strategies, including conservative treatments or targeted injections. For medical professionals, understanding Morton’s neuroma and its sonographic appearance is vital for precise diagnosis and patient care.
