Ultrasound in the detection and treatment of a painful stump neuroma. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Ultrasound is an established modality for the evaluation of neuromas, particularly Morton's neuromas. It has also had success in the assessment of amputation stump neuromas. While ultrasound localization for steroid injection has proven useful in the conservative treatment of Morton's neuromas, it has not yet been established as a localization technique for steroid injection to successfully treat amputation stump neuromas.
