Endoscopic Morton's
Neuroma Surgery (EDIN)
Endoscopic decompression of
intermetatarsal neuroma (EDIN) procedure was developed in the early 90's
and has been used successfully for a number of years. The
advantage of The EDIN procedure is that it is a 'Band-Aid' surgery.
Patient's spend on two days in bandages and are back in loose fitting
shoes in less than a week.
The EDIN procedure is unique in that it
is a nerve sparing surgery. The focus of The EDIN procedure is to
release the intermetatarsal nerve, preserving sensation in the forefoot.
This differs from a traditional Morton's neuroma surgery in which the
nerve is removed.
The EDIN procedure is performed on an
out-patient basis at a surgical center or hospital. Local
anesthesia with sedation is typically used. The procedure take approximately
20 minutes to perform.
