Background A majority of the nearly 2 million Americans living with limb loss suffer from
chronic pain in the form of neuroma-related residual limb and phantom limb pain (PLP) …

Objective: To compare targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) to “standard treatment” of
neuroma excision and burying into muscle for postamputation pain. Summary Background …

Purpose Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a technique for the management of
peripheral nerves in amputation. Phantom limb pain (PLP) and residual limb pain (RLP) …

Background We describe a multidisciplinary approach for comprehensive care of amputees
with concurrent targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) at the time of amputation. Methods Our …

Background: Approximately 200,000 people undergo a lower extremity amputation each
year. Following amputation, patients suffer from chronic pain, inability to ambulate, and high …

The life altering nature of major limb amputations may be further complicated by neuroma
formation in up to 60% of the estimated 2 million major limb amputees in the United States …

Scope and Significance: There are∼ 185,000 amputations each year and nearly 2 million
amputees currently living in the United States. Approximately 25% of these amputees will …

Background Targeted muscle reinnervation is an emerging surgical technique to treat
neuroma pain whereby sensory and mixed motor nerves are transferred to nearby …

Background Postamputation neuroma pain can prevent comfortable prosthesis wear in
patients with limb amputations, and currently available treatments are not consistently …

Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) offers the potential for improved prosthetic function by
reclaiming the neural control information that is lost as a result of upper extremity …
