Interdigital neuralgia

Introduction to interphalangeal neuralgia Neuralgia or benign neuroma can occur in any interphalangeal nerve. The interphalangeal nerve travels between the phalanges and the tibia, crossing the sacral ball to the distal end, and tying the toes. The third interphalangeal nerve consists of branches of the inner and outer plantar nerves, usually forming a neuroma (Morton neuroma) here. Unilateral neuromas are more common than bilateral, with more women than men. The diagnosis was established based on the characteristic medical history and the tenderness of the interphalangeal space. When a neuroma is formed, pressing the third and fourth phalanges with a thumb often causes pain. Mainly do X-ray, CT examination, exclude organic lesions. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.003% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: Osteoporosis

Cause of interphalangeal neuralgia

Neuralgia or benign neuroma can occur in any interphalangeal nerve. The interphalangeal nerve runs between the phalanx and the humerus. It crosses the sacral ball and goes to the distal end. It dominates the toe and the third interphalangeal nerve consists of the inner and outer plantar nerve branches. A neuroma (Morton neuroma) is usually formed here. Unilateral neuromas are more common than bilateral, with more women than men.

Interphalangeal neuralgia prevention

There is no effective preventive measure for this disease. Early detection and early treatment are the key to the prevention and treatment of this disease.

Interphalangeal neuropathy complications Complications Osteoporosis

As the disease progresses, the sensation becomes more special and there is often a burning sensation that radiates to the toes. When walking, in order to relieve pain, it is often necessary to take off your shoes.

Symptoms of interosseous neuralgia Common symptoms Foot swelling, tenderness, foot burning, nerve pain, toe flexion when the foot is flexed

Interphalangeal neuralgia is characterized by sudden pain that travels to the toe ball or toe along one or more foot nerves, which may be the loss of the fat pad that protects the interphalangeal nerve of the foot. Repeated mild trauma or improper wearing of shoes, interphalangeal neuroma appears as a progressive benign thickening and enlargement around one or more interphalangeal nerves, patients with this neuroma in the early stage Only complained that the Ryukyu Department had mild pain or discomfort. The most common site is the 4th metatarsal region. Sometimes there is a burning or acupuncture. The patient can feel like there is a stone in the ball, usually when wearing a certain style of shoes. The symptoms are more pronounced than when wearing another style of shoes.

Examination of interphalangeal neuralgia

The diagnosis was established based on the characteristic medical history and the tenderness of the interphalangeal space. When a neuroma is formed, pressing the third and fourth phalanges with a thumb often causes pain, mainly by X-ray, CT examination, and exclusion of organic lesions.

Diagnosis and differentiation of interphalangeal neuralgia

Mainly related to humeral fractures, phalangeal fractures, X-ray examination can be identified.
