Management of Morton's neuroma in athletes.
The goal of the physician treating the athlete with Morton's neuroma should be the same as the goal of the athlete. This is to relieve the pain while allowing the athlete to continue with his or her activity as much as possible. Therefore, conservative therapy should be stressed. If it fails, all surgical methods, including the EDIN procedure, and their disadvantages should be considered before choosing to undertake one.
