An Anatomical Study of Morton's Interdigital Neuroma: The Relationship Between the Occurring Site and the Deep Transverse Metatarsal Ligament (DTML)

Abstract

Morton interdigital neuromas were located more distally than the DTML in both the mid-stance and the heel-off stage during walking. The main lesion was located between the metatarsal head and the metatarsophalangeal joint and more distal than the DTML, questioning previous studies suggesting that the DTML is the major causative factor in development of Morton interdigital neuroma.
