Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of intermetatarsal bursitis and Morton's neuroma in patients with metatarsalgia (i.e. pain in the forefoot) and control subjects by diagnostic imaging with ultrasound and MRI.


Clinical Trial Description

In a group of patients with intermetatarsal pain found by an orthopedic surgeon, the investigators want to assess the incidences of intermetatarsal bursitis and Morton's neuroma, using diagnostic imaging; ultrasound and MRI. The hypothesis is, that intermetatarsal bursitis is an overlooked diagnosis in patients with metatarsalgia. As a result of sparse literature and lack of knowledge about this condition with symptoms mimicking Morton's neuroma, a part of patients diagnosed with Morton's neuroma, suffers from intermetatarsal bursitis instead. Additionally, the investigators want to evaluate the clinical sign opening toes. Based on clinical photos of the feet, the investigators want to document the presence of opening toes and investigate if there is a correlation with either intermetatarsal bursitis and/or Morton's neuroma. ;
