Overview
Direct pressure between the metatarsal heads will replicate the symptoms, as will compression of the forefoot between the finger and thumb so as to compress the transverse arch of the foot.
Physical Examination
- Patients with neuroma usually appear with antalgic posture[1]
- Physical examination may be remarkable for:
- Tenderness to palpation
- Limitation of range of motion
- Dysesthetic pain
- Mulder's sign:
- Replication of symptoms or clicking sensations upon direct pressure between the metatarsal heads or compression of transverse arch in forefoot between the finger and thumb
- Negative signs include no obvious:
- Deformities
- Erythema
- Signs of inflammation
