Mulder Sign is used to evaluate which condition?

Explanation:
Mulder sign targets an intermetatarsal nerve entrapment, commonly called Morton’s neuroma. When you squeeze the metatarsal heads together and palpate the plantar interspace, a neuroma between the heads is compressed and displaced, producing a palpable or audible click and often reproduced pain or paresthesias in the involved toes. This specific intermetatarsal nerve irritation explains the positive sign, whereas an ankle sprain, tarsal tunnel syndrome, or metatarsophalangeal arthritis would not produce the characteristic intermetatarsal click pattern.
