| Abstract |
Understanding the risk factors that predict the prognosis of Morton's neuroma after corticosteroid injection would help clinicians determine the appropriate treatment protocol. However, the cut-off values for the risk factors are unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors and cut-off values that predict failure of corticosteroid injection in treatment of Morton's neuroma. Among 201 patients who had corticosteroid injection for Morton's neuroma, 40 underwent further treatment after injections. Injection was performed with ultrasound guidance following ultrasound confirmation of the diagnosis. We compared demographic information, size of the neuroma, and other comorbidities between the patients who did and did not undergo further treatment after injection in order to determine the risk factors of failure. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to determine optimal cutoff values for each risk factor. Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that larger neuromas (p < 0.001) and younger patients (p = 0.026) predicted the failure of corticosteroid injection. The optimal cutoff value for the size of the neuroma was 6.3 mm (sensitivity, 81%; specificity, 95%; positive predictive value, 84%; negative predictive value, 88%) for predicting the failure of corticosteroid injection. Age was not associated with a specific cutoff value. This study found that, with a cut-off value of 6.3 mm, larger Morton's neuromas were associated with failure of corticosteroid injection. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 19. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 September 2021.
All research outputs
#1,740,919
of 23,511,526 outputs
Outputs from International Orthopaedics
#32
of 1,477 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#41,367
of 441,688 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Orthopaedics
#1
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,511,526 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,477 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 441,688 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
