“…This is because there is a long tradition of testing for this neuropathy, and our orthopaedic surgeons frequently refer these patients for EMG. In our material, 85% of the patients were women, which corresponds well with other studies that report clear female preponderance (83%-96%) [5]. MTA is usually seen in the feet with hallux valgus and hammer toes, both of which are more common in women [5].…”

“…Focal peripheral neuropathies are common disorders in electromyography (EMG) examinations. They are caused by temporary or chronic compression, trauma, immunemediated mechanisms [neuralgic amyotrophy (NA)], vasculitis, infections and tumours [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Many factors predispose individuals to focal neuropathies.…”

Background and purpose It is well established that patient‐related constitutional features predispose to focal peripheral neuropathies. Some of these risk factors were investigated in common focal neuropathies encountered in patients referred for electromyography. Methods Gender, age, height and body mass index (BMI) were analysed retrospectively as risk factors for 11 focal neuropathies. In all, 9686 patients (age range 18–96 years; 58% women) were included from three different centres, with identical methods and equipment. Results High BMI was related to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE), combined CTS and UNE, meralgia paraesthetica and lumbar radiculopathy. In women, CTS and Morton's metatarsalgia were more common, whilst long thoracic neuropathies, suprascapular neuropathies and UNE were more common in men. Older age increased the risk for CTS, UNE, Morton's metatarsalgia and radiculopathies. Conclusions Age, gender and BMI are important risk factors for many common focal neuropathies.

Introduction Morton's neuroma is an entrapment neuropathy of the third common plantar digital nerve, caused by the deep transverse metatarsal ligament (DTML). Minimally invasive or percutaneous surgery is a very common procedure, but surgical effectivity of this technique remains controversial. The goal of our study was to prove the effectiveness and safety of a new ultrasound‐guided technique for DTML‐release in a cadaver model. Materials, Methods, and Results The DTML was visualized in 10 fresh frozen donated body to science‐feet (eight male and two females, five left and five right) using an US device (GE Logic R7; 13 MHz linear probe, Madrid, Spain). Consecutively, minimally invasive ultrasound‐guided surgery was performed. Exclusion criteria of the donated bodies to science were previous history of forefoot surgery and space occupying mass lesions. The complete release of the ligament was achieved in all specimens without damage of any important anatomical structures as proven by anatomical dissection. Conclusions The results of this study indicate that our novel approach of an ultrasound‐guided release of the DTML is safer and more effective compared to blind techniques. The DTML could reliably be visualized and securely cut through a dorsal, minimally invasive surgical incision of only 2 mm.
