Morton's neuroma is the enlargement of an interdigital nerve most commonly located between the third and fourth metatarsals. It is susceptible to entrapment and therefore is a common cause of disabling foot pain. Greek foot is a normal variant where the first metatarsal is shorter than the second metatarsal. To our knowledge there is currently no reported association between Greek foot and Morton's neuroma in the literature. Retrospective study of 184 patients. Two separate cohorts were recruited. Cohort (A): 100 randomly selected patients with no foot pain. Cohort (B): 84 patients with foot pain and Mortons's neuroma. The foot shape was determined by using a self-assessment tool and plain radiographs. Statistical analyses were performed using the Chi square test on the association between Greek foot and Morton's neuroma. A value of P = < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Background
