Surgical algorithm for neuroma management: a changing treatment paradigm. Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open. 2018;6(10):e1952.)
SURGICAL TECHNIQUES
Nerve Reconstruction—Distal End Available
Allograft/Autograft
If the distal end of the injured nerve can be identified, and a considerable gap exists after proximal neuroma excision, then reconstruction with an allograft or autograft nerve can be utilized
9
(Figures 9.5 and 9.6). While autograft nerve is considered the standard, there are drawbacks. Major disadvantages are the creation of secondary surgical site and donor site morbidity including numbness, pain, and potential for formation of painful neuroma.
10
Indications for allograft have continued to expand based on current data with acceptable use in nerve gaps up to 70 mm.11 Cost is a major consideration when deciding which graft to use in nerve reconstruction. Recent cost analysis showed comparable inpatient and outpatient costs for both autograft and allograft nerve reconstruction when taking into consideration operating time, hospital stay, and implant cost.

Hollow Tube Constructs/Conduits
If the nerve gap after neuroma excision is small, a hollow tube construct (connector, conduit, or vein) may be used to bridge the nerve gap. These techniques have been shown to be effective in small-caliber nerves with short gaps.
13,14
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis showed inferior outcomes when compared with autograft or allograft reconstruction in larger gaps.12 Hollow tube constructs can also be utilized at the site of neurorrhaphy to offload tension on nerve coaptation when indicated.

Neuroma-in-Continuity
Neuroma-in-continuity is the presence of a neuroma in the substance of an otherwise intact peripheral nerve. These are frequently seen in cases of blunt trauma or traction injuries. Management of such may involve difficult decision making as excision may have a significant impact on the function of the nerve.
15
It is important to consider the function of the effected nerve as well as the degree of disability the painful neuroma is imparting on the patient. If the benefits of neuroma excision outweigh the possible deficits, then selective neuroma excision with intraneural dissection may be attempted to preserve the intact fascicles while selectively identifying and excising the neuroma fascicles and scar tissue contributing to the neuropathic pain.15 After the neuroma and scar tissue are excised, reconstruction with the above techniques should be attempted (Figure 9.7).

Nerve Reconstruction—Distal End Unavailable
Implantation Into Adjacent Tissue
Historically, implantation of proximal nerve ends into adjacent tissue (fat, muscle, bone, or veins) had been the most widely practiced technique for neuroma management.16-18 Although this technique has been described with satisfactory results, longer-term follow-up has seen recurrence of painful neuromas despite prior implantation. This situation happens as the peripheral nerve end continues to regrow despite its new location and/or surroundings, resulting in a recurrent, painful neuroma reformation (see also Figure 9.4).
https://t.me/med1917
Implantation into adjacent tissue has many advantages as it is a simplistic technique that requires no additional materials. It has previously shown to improve quality of life in certain patients with upper or lower extremity painful neuromas.19 However, this technique is considered a passive method that does not attempt to reconstruct the proximal nerve end, thus contributing to a higher rate of subsequent painful neuroma reformation.
20
Centrocentral Neurorrhaphy
Centrocentral neurorrhaphy coapts two adjacent proximal nerve ends to decrease end neuroma formation in both nerves (Figure
9.8). It can also be employed in larger-caliber nerves by
intrafascicular dissection and coaptation of the separate fascicular bundles. This technique has limited applications and mixed results.
21
It has been shown to produce less painful stump neuromas in patients after digital amputation but with less overall sensitivity when compared with traction neurectomy.22 More often, surgeons utilize a nerve graft and/or hollow tube between the nerve ends to aid in “dwindling out” or dissipating the regenerative nerve fibers so that the sources of regenerating axons are impaired in their regrowth potential. This technique is another example of a passive strategy for symptomatic neuroma management.

Relocation Nerve Grafting
Relocation nerve grafting utilizes a long nerve graft (autograft or allograft) to direct nerve regeneration after neuroma resection toward a more favorable location. This technique can be used in hostile wound beds or when the nerve is superficial and prone to irritation or compression. Use of a long nerve allograft is most common and provides a runway for dissipated nerve growth.8 The distal end of the nerve graft can be placed in a more desirable location (vascularized wound bed, intramuscular, etc.) (Figure 9.9). As a passive technique, there is no reconstruction of the nerve and it will not result in recovery of sensation or function.

End-to-Side Neurorrhaphy
After symptomatic neuroma resection, the proximal nerve end can be coapted to an adjacent nerve through the creation of an epineural window (Figure 9.10). The intact, adjacent nerve provides a pathway and target for nerve regeneration where regenerating axons either

are pruned or can reestablish end-organ contact.23 Multiple studies have shown prevention of symptomatic neuroma formation in rat models using this technique.23-25 This reconstructive technique is an active type of reconstruction that does permit the peripheral nerve end some opportunity for regrowth and has been increasingly utilized in the clinical setting, but longer-term follow-up and reporting of clinical outcomes are desired.

Nerve Cap
https://t.me/med1917
Various nerve caps that have been manufactured from a variety of materials have been trialed to control disorganized regrowth of the proximal end of the injured nerve.26 The proximal end is sutured or secured into the nerve cap, and the cap acts as a barrier to the regrowth of the proximal nerve stump. Differing strategies in these cap designs have been reported. For example, some caps utilize internal chambers that act to redirect nerve axonal regeneration into separate partitions, which have been shown in rat and animal models to control axonal outgrowth resulting in decreased pain response and decreased neuroma formation
27,28
(Figure 9.11). Advantages of nerve caps include limited dissection to the proximal nerve end and further donor site morbidity related to active techniques; however, material costs and reimbursement for their use are important considerations. Furthermore, reporting of clinical outcomes and related studies are necessary to better understand the potential of this treatment strategy in the surgical treatment of neuromas.
