title: Long-term follow-up of Morton's neuroma.
abstract: The long-term results of neurectomy are evaluated in 70 symptomatic Morton's neuromas in 53 patients with an average postoperative follow-up of 4.8 years, and a maximum of 8.6 years. The presentation, number, and location of neuromas in this series, in some instances, coincides with previous publications. Neurectomy, by means of a dorsal approach, provided 93% patient satisfaction at long-term follow-up.
