Morton's Neuroma

Description

Mr Donatas Chlebinskas gives his expert insights into Morton's Neuroma which is a condition characterized by perineural fibrosis affecting the common plantar digital nerve, primarily situated between the third and fourth metatarsal heads. This condition is not a tumor, but rather a reactive change in the nerve tissue. The medial and lateral plantar nerves, which are branches of the tibial nerve, play a crucial role in foot sensation. They emerge in the web space between the third and fourth toes and coalesce to form the common plantar digital nerve, which continues to branch out distally beyond the metatarsal heads.
