Abstract
Background: Current literature lacks comprehensive information comparing the clinical outcomes of plantar and dorsal approaches for Civinini-Morton syndrome, also known as Morton's neuroma. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of neurectomy for Morton's neuroma, focusing on the differences between the plantar and dorsal approach.
Methods: Our comprehensive literature review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and utilized databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Data investigated in this study included postoperative sensory loss, scar tenderness, reoperation, histopathology, complications, pain score, patient satisfaction, functional scores, and time to weight bearing.
Results: Total eight studies were included in this study. In aggregate, 237 neuromas underwent excision using the plantar approach, while 312 neuromas were treated via the dorsal approach. A significantly higher rate of postoperative reduced sensory was found in the dorsal group: 48.5 % (64/132) Vs. 62.0 % (80/129) with the relative ratio (RR) of 0.79 (95 % CI, 0.64-0.97). A significantly higher rate of postoperative scar tenderness was noted in the plantar group: 16.7 % (32/192) Vs. 6.2 % (14/225) with the RR of 2.27 (95 % CI, 1.28-4.04). Regarding the histopathology, 99.3 % (143/144) and 97.1 % (134/138) accuracy rate was confirmed in the plantar approach and dorsal approach, respectively, with the RR of 1.02 (95 % CI, 0.98-1.07). Overall reoperations and complications were not different between groups at 5.3 % (10/189) and 8.8 % (19/216) in the plantar group versus 6.1 % and 12.0 % (35/291) in dorsal group.
Conclusions: We recommend detailed discussions with patients prior to surgery to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
期刊介绍：
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
