symptomatic neuromas of digital nerves to the thumb after prior thumb amputation at outside institution.
Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface
Regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) was initially described to increase control of myoelectric prosthetics. The technique involves implantation of the proximal nerve end fascicles into an autologous free skeletal muscle graft
29,30
(Figure 9.12). This muscle graft possesses denervated muscle and motor end plates that permit reinnervation if the graft successfully revascularizes.

RPNIs have been shown to facilitate reinnervation of the implanted skeletal muscle graft, formation of new neuromuscular junctions, and decreased symptomatic neuroma formation.30 RPNI has shown promising early outcomes in treatment of painful neuromas.

Disadvantages of this active nerve treatment technique include increased dissection, ischemia-induced fibrosis, and resorption of muscle graft that may inhibit the nerve from regenerating into and reinnervating the reimplanted muscle graft. Recently, vascularized denervated muscle targets (VDMTs) have been investigated to avoid ischemia-related issues of the free skeletal muscle grafts. The VDMT technique is similar to RPNI but utilizes a skeletal muscle graft raised on an intact, vascular pedicle with subsequent implantation of the proximal nerve end.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation
Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) was originally designed to augment function of myoelectric prothesis for upper extremity amputees.33 The proximal end of the injured nerve is coapted to a nearby “target” motor nerve that can be transected to freshly denervate a specific portion of muscle and its associated motor end plates (ie, in essence a nerve transfer technique) (Figure 9.13). The proximal nerve end then regrows through the target motor nerve, and this regenerating nerve reinnervates the specific denervated target muscle that acts as the distal end organ for the proximal nerve. Although originally meant to allow for more specific prosthetic control, this technique has been shown in basic science, and retrospective and prospective, as well as randomized clinical studies, to decrease phantom and residual limb pain and neuropathic pain and as an active treatment strategy for symptomatic neuromas.

This technique has been applied in both upper and lower extremities as well as throughout other anatomic areas (Figure 9.14 and Video
9.1). Purported disadvantages include increased dissection,
denervation of otherwise unaffected muscle, and size mismatch of nerve coaptation between the larger injured nerve and smaller motor nerve. Recently, a combined technique of TMR with a vascularized RPNI has been reported with promising results; this addresses size mismatch and axonal escape of the TMR technique36 (Figures 9.15 and 9.16).

SYMPTOMATIC NEUROMA PREVENTION
There has been an ongoing paradigm shift in the management of peripheral nerve injuries with regards to neuroma prevention. Clinicians have started to employ the previously discussed
https://t.me/med1917
techniques at the time of nerve injury with the goal of neuroma prevention, specifically in patients undergoing major limb amputation, where a high incidence of symptomatic neuromas and phantom limb pain that decrease quality of life and functional outcomes exists. Prospective studies utilizing RPNI and TMR for reconstruction of severed nerves at time of amputation have shown promising results with decreased neuroma pain and phantom limb pain.37-39 Currently, the techniques have not been compared head­to-head and the decision on whether to apply TMR or RPNI in a certain patient is largely based on surgeon preference.
CONCLUSION
Multiple surgical techniques are available for management of painful neuromas; however, no singular treatment has been shown to be superior to the others.40 Treatment algorithms are largely based on surgeon preference and presence/absence of distal nerve end.8 In terms of neuroma prevention, both TMR and RPNI performed at the time of amputation or injury have shown promising results. Management of neuroma pain is an evolving area of research, and clinical practice with new techniques, materials, and treatment algorithms is being investigated.
QUESTIONS
1. A 30-year-old female chef presents with numbness of the radial aspect of her left index finger after a kitchen accident about 1 year prior. She has a transverse scar in her palm around the level of the index finger A1 pulley and Tinel sign just proximal to the scar. She was taken to the operating room where a neuroma excision and allograft reconstruction was performed. Allograft nerve reconstruction is an example of which type of surgical neuroma management?
a. Ablative b. Active
c. Passive

d. Prevention
2. A 24-year-old construction worker presents with a painful fingertip after suffering amputation of his left middle finger with failed replantation and subsequent revision amputation 3 years ago. He has shooting pain at the tip of his residual stump when grasping objects and dysesthesias when wearing his work gloves. Upon surgical exploration digital neuromas are discovered. Neuromas occur from which process?
a. Wallerian degeneration b. Disorganized axonal regrowth
c. Pain centralization
d. Reinnervation of denervated muscle
3. A 42-year-old male veteran and right lower extremity below knee amputee presents to clinic with pain at his residual stump. He also endorses significant phantom limb pain that prevents him from using his prosthesis. What surgical treatment has been shown in randomized clinical trials to decrease neuroma pain and phantom limb pain compared with passive/ablative surgical techniques?
a. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) b. Regenerative peripheral muscle interfaces (RPNIs)
c. Agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI)
d. Reset neurectomy
ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
1. Answer: b.  This patient had neuroma excision and allograft
reconstruction performed of the radial digital nerve of the index finger. Allograft reconstruction of the nerve defect is an active or reconstructive surgical technique that addresses the neuroma and the potential axonal regrowth, giving the nerve “somewhere to go and something to do.” Ablative and passive describe
