Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is primarily used to transfer residual nerves of the amputated upper limb to reinnervate alternate target muscle groups, for intuitive control of a myoelectric prosthesis. Furthermore, TMR can significantly reduce the incidence of neuropathic and neuroma-related pain compared with conventional amputation techniques, by providing each nerve 'somewhere to go and something to do'.We report the use of TMR in a case of elective transradial amputation for intractable severe chronic post-traumatic and end neuroma limb pain (constant VAS pain score 10/10), 2 years following a severe crush injury to his left hand.
