Abstract

Surgical Neurectomy of peripheral nerves may be performed under rare cases in which chronic lower extremity pain has not responded to other treatments. Neuromas, being a disorganized proliferation of nerve fascicles, are a potential complication encountered in surgical neurectomies (Figure 1). After the development of a stump neuroma, these patients may benefit from a repair with nerve allograft in a nerve to no end technique. Nerve wraps are used to cover the native nerve and graft in order to minimize the recurrence of a painful stump neuroma.
