Comparative Analysis of Dorsal Nerve Relocation versus Dorsal Neurectomy in the Surgical Management of Morton's Neuroma

This clinical study compares the use of dorsal nerve relocation (DNR; also known as dorsal nerve transfer) and dorsal neurectomy (DN) in the surgical management of Morton's neuroma within the surgical directorate of an NHS Hospital Trust (Princess Royal University Hospital) in the South East of England between 2002 and 2009. Approaches to the surgical management of Morton's neuroma are dependent on the views of individual surgeons, rather than empirical evidence and varied considerably, so this study was essentially all about checking whether best practice is being followed and making improvements.
