Effectiveness of ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection in the treatment of Morton's neuroma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:More than 40 open procedures have been described for ankle arthrodesis, most with high complication rates. Since its description in 1983, arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis has become a viable option in selected patients. With one of the largest series in the literature, the purpose of the paper was to analyze t...
