What Does the Evidence Say About Hydrodissection?

Does hydrodissection work for Morton’s neuroma?

Short answer: Hydrodissection is biologically and mechanically plausible and is established for several entrapment neuropathies, but Morton’s-neuroma-specific comparative evidence remains limited.

Published Morton’s neuroma literature is much stronger for ultrasound diagnosis, corticosteroid injection and surgery than for hydrodissection as a stand-alone treatment. This should be explained transparently.

Dr Lafferty offers hydrodissection as a targeted option based on ultrasound findings and clinical selection. Its value is the ability to treat the nerve interface precisely without immediately proceeding to open surgery.
