XXXX --leading to failed foot surgery.

@entity1 @entity1897 @entity158 @entity2950 @entity9
@entity1897 caused by incisions on the dorsum of the foot are a common cause of failed foot surgery and can be severely @entity158 and disabling. Thirty-seven @entity1 with 55 symptomatic @entity1897 were evaluated and treated at the Painful Foot Center. Ten @entity1 with moderately severe symptoms chose not to undergo surgery and were treated with oversized shoes with or without protective orthoses. Twenty-seven @entity1 underwent surgery. Four with spindle @entity2950 were treated by neurolysis. Two improved slightly, one remained the same, and one became worse. Twenty-three were treated by proximal resection with or without @entity9 into an appropriate muscle belly. Thirteen of the 23 obtained good results, four obtained fair results, and six obtained poor results. Thus, a total of 20 @entity1 (74%) obtained clinically satisfactory results, and seven (26%), unsatisfactory results. It is much easier to prevent a @entity2950 by meticulous surgical technique than to treat a highly symptomatic @entity2950 .
