Who May Benefit From Hydrodissection?

Who is suitable for Morton’s neuroma hydrodissection?

Short answer: Hydrodissection may suit a confirmed symptomatic neuroma when compression or tethering appears important and footwear, orthoses or a standard injection have not provided sufficient relief.

It may be attractive to patients seeking a precise, minimally invasive step before surgery. Previous surgery or scar-related nerve symptoms require particularly careful evaluation because anatomy may be altered.

Poor healing, infection, unsuitable injection risk or uncertain diagnosis may make the procedure inappropriate. Selection is more important than offering it routinely to every neuroma.
