What is a Mulder's click?

Answer 1

A Mulder's click is a specific physical exam finding associated with the diagnosis of a Morton’s neuroma, which is a painful condition affecting the foot. It is characterized by a palpable click or a sensation felt when pressure is applied to the area between the metatarsal bones, typically the third and fourth toes. This click occurs as the neuroma is compressed and can indicate the presence of the swollen nerve. The test is performed by squeezing the metatarsal heads together and is often used by healthcare professionals to assess for this condition.
