Abstract
The authors report a 15-year history of management of multiple recurrent neuromas in a patient with an amputated arm. Various surgical modalities were employed, including burying the nerve ends in muscle and bone. In addition, they also treated successfully one of the neuromas in this patient by capping the transected nerve with an extended autologous vein graft. This application of the extended autologous venous nerve conduit may be a novel alternative in the treatment of this challenging problem.
