Contemporary Neuroma Management, Gebunden

Klappentext

Traditional techniques for the surgical management of symptomatic neuromas involve excision with intra-muscular or intra-osseous burying. Over the last decade, a number of novel strategies have been developed that have led to a resurgence of interest in management of the symptomatic neuroma. These techniques are collectively summarized as active management strategies and include targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) and others.

This comprehensive text provides a deep dive into the contemporary management of symptomatic neuromas. It discusses the diagnostic workup for neuropathic pain, including the use of imaging and diagnostic nerve blocks, and reviews the epidemiology and demographics of patients presenting with this problem. It then explores non-surgical modalities, as well as both traditional and novel surgical techniques, for the management of symptomatic neuroma. Part of the book is case-based and highlights these techniques, and can serve as a full-color atlas for the peripheral nerve surgeon.

Contemporary Neuroma Management presents a concentrated, modern approach to the management of neuromas and will be utilized by peripheral nerve surgeons (plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons) as well as other pain management providers.
