Popis: Neuromas are a common cause of forefoot pain that can be treated surgically via neurolysis, which entails decompression of the deep transverse metatarsal ligament (DTML). This study details a novel technique in which the Arthrex® NanoScopeTM System is utilized for DTML release to treat a painful neuroma in a minimally invasive fashion. This technique is unique because it allows for a quick and easy percutaneous procedure where the DTML can be visualized by the surgeon both prior to and during transection.
