BACKGROUND: @entity2950 is a mechanically induced @entity179 . METHODS: We compared clinical and MRI findings in 76 feet treated operatively for @entity2950 and 40 feet with different pathologies (controls). RESULTS: In the 'treatment group' @entity925 ( @entity925 ) was positive in 95%, foot squeeze (SQU) in 88%, plantar percussion (PLP) in 61%, and toe tip sensation deficit (TTSD) in 67%. MRI identified @entity18015 in 97%. Histological examination confirmed @entity2950 excision in 99%. Frequency of positive tests was significantly higher in the treatment group compared to controls. MRI revealed (asymptomatic) @entity18015 in 10/40 (25%) feet in the control group. TTSD was similarly positive in asymptomatic and symptomatic @entity18015 . TTSD in association with any other test being positive, was significantly more frequent in symptomatic @entity18015 . CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of @entity2950 , based on clinical and imaging findings, was accurate. Positive clinical testing was more frequent in the 'treatment' group compared to the 'control' group.
