Surgery is indicated to remove Morton's Neuroma, when infiltrations and physical therapy were not enough to decrease pain and improve the person's quality of life. This procedure should completely remove the lump that has formed, and can be performed in the following ways: Cut in the top or bottom of the foot to remove the neuroma or just remove the ligaments in order to increase the space between the bones of the foot; Cryosurgery consisting of applying temperatures between 50 and 70ºC negative, directly on the affected nerve.
