Abstract
We used freeze-thawed muscle grafts to restore continuity to the affected nerve in 22 painful cutaneous neuromas. In 11 of the 15 neuromas in the upper limb, pain was partially or completely relieved; in six of these there was some recovery of distal sensation. Partial pain relief was achieved in only two of the seven neuromas in the lower limb. The difference is attributed to the longer grafts required in the lower limb.
