Conditions
Keywords
Foot, Morton Neuroma, Radiofrequency
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to perform a radiofrequency procedure prior to the removal of morton's neuroma. This procedure would be performed to check in which percentage of the nerve ablation has been performed, and whether the current protocol is performed correctly or parts of the nerve remain intact.
Interventions
PROCEDURERadiofrequency

Intervention model description
Performing a radiofrequency procedure prior to the removal of morton's neuroma. This procedure would be performed to check in which percentage of the nerve ablation has been performed, and whether the current protocol is performed correctly or parts of the nerve remain intact. * Step 1: Visualize the needle on the long axis of the probe. * Step 2: Neurostimulate * Step 3: Deposit of 1-2cc of anesthetic and wait about 2 minutes. * Step 4: we apply the continuous radiofrequency at that point and once done we change the position of the needle to more dorsal planes anatomically and we made 2 more applications (in this case we will no longer have neurostimulation because the patient will be anesthetized).
