Morton’s Neuroma with Dr David Bull

In this episode of Sunday Surgery, Ron McCulloch, Consultant Podiatric Surgeon and Director at The London Podiatry Centre, appeared alongside Dr David Bull and Dr Renee to break down the complexities of Morton’s neuroma, a frequently misdiagnosed forefoot condition.

Diagnostic Clarity
Ron emphasised the importance of accurate diagnosis—explaining how Morton’s neuroma differs from other causes of foot pain and why that precision matters in choosing effective treatment.

Cryosurgery as a Modern Solution
With over 25 years of experience in ultrasound-guided cryosurgery, Ron outlined how this minimally invasive procedure offers patients effective and enduring relief, reducing the risks associated with traditional surgical methods. He also walked listeners through how ultrasound aids in both diagnosis and precise treatment delivery.

Dr Renee’s Insight and Patient Perspective
Dr Renee added valuable feedback to the discussion, drawing on her clinical experience to highlight how cryosurgery has transformed outcomes for many patients. She shared observations on:

• Symptom relief — noting how patients report faster recovery and reduced post-treatment discomfort compared to conventional surgery.
  
• Procedure preference — emphasising how cryosurgery's minimally invasive nature means less downtime, easier aftercare, and a smoother overall patient experience.
  

Comprehensive Treatment Approach
Ron reassured audiences that cryosurgery is one option among a full spectrum of treatments available at their Centre, ranging from conservative care to radiofrequency and open surgery—all chosen based on individual patient needs.
