N2 - In the United States, an estimated 185,000 individuals undergo amputation of their upper or lower limb. This results in residual limb pain in up to 85% of cases. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a technique that has been shown to prevent symptomatic neuroma formation. In this video, the authors demonstrate their technique utilizing TMR at the time of above-the-knee amputation. Coaptations are made to provide motor targets for branches of the saphenous, tibial, and peroneal sensory nerves. At the featured patient’s most recent follow-up visit 3 months postoperatively, she reported no stump pain or phantom limb pain.
