To identify sonographically the changes of the forefoot in patients with metatarsalgia.
Sonography of the foot was performed in 112 patients with metatarsalgia and in 50 healthy controls. Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints, intermetatarsal web spaces, flexor and extensor tendons, and plantar aponeurosis were examined.
Sonography showed intermetatarsophalangeal bursitis in 20.5% of cases, Morton's neuroma in 15.2%, and effusion of MTP joints in 11.7%.
Sonography gives useful information about the possible alteration responsible for metatarsalgia.
通过超声检查确定跖痛症患者前足的变化。
对112例跖痛症患者和50例健康对照者的足部进行超声检查。检查跖趾关节、跖间蹼间隙、屈肌腱和伸肌腱以及足底腱膜。
超声检查显示,20.5%的病例存在跖趾间滑囊炎,15.2%存在莫顿神经瘤,11.7%存在跖趾关节积液。
超声检查可为导致跖痛症的可能病变提供有用信息。
