Digital Nerve Management and Neuroma Prevention in Hand Amputations.
Authors
Abstract
Hand and digit amputations represent a relatively common injury affecting an active patient population. Neuroma formation following amputation at the level of the digital nerve can cause significant disability and lead to revision surgery. One method for managing digital nerves in primary and revision partial hand amputations is to perform interdigital end-to-end nerve coaptations to prevent neuroma formation.
