Intermetatarsal Release

Whilst a limited number of studies suggest that intermetatarsal ligament release is successful in treating Morton’s neuroma, more evidence is required.
 
This treatment does not address the neuroma directly and in cases where the nerve is large, symptoms may continue. Unlike other parts of the body, where a nerve can be "surgically released", the foot is likely to experience some degree of continued compression because of footwear.
 
One risk of intermetatarsal release is that further surgery would be required if the procedure was unsuccessful, which would lead to increased scar formation within the foot.
