Abstract
This article reviews the diagnosis, pathology, and treatment of plantar heel neuroma, an entity that has previously been described and recognized, yet one that we feel warrants further review because of the prevalence of plantar heel pain that does not respond to the usual array of treatments. We feel that neuroma of the medial calcaneal nerve often goes undiagnosed, and may progress to a severely painful condition that requires surgical intervention. In this article, we describe another case of heel neuroma in an otherwise healthy patient with a history of chronic plantar heel pain that was unresponsive to a wide array of nonsurgical treatments. Level of Clinical Evidence: 4
