Mulder's 1951 case series of 12 operative patients with Morton's metatarsalgia describes the clinical test that bears his name and proposes a mechanical explanation for digital neuroma formation based on direct surgical observation.
This paper introduced Mulder's sign, a key diagnostic maneuver you'll use regularly when evaluating forefoot pain. The clinical test involves squeezing the metatarsal heads while dorsiflexing the affected toe, producing a palpable click and reproducing symptoms in Morton's neuroma.
