Management of painful neuromas in the hand
JH Herndon, RG Eaton and JW Littler
A new treatment for painful neuromas in the hand was used on thirtty-three
patients. Fifteen of them were partial amputees and the others had
unrepairable lesions. The treatment was transfer of the stumps to an
unscarred site where the neuroma would not be under pressure when the hand
was used. Excellent results were achieved in 82 per cent of patients.
