Area of Science:

  • Surgical innovation in reconstructive surgery and neuroprosthetics.
  • Nerve regeneration and neuroma management.

Background:

  • Neuromas are a common complication of nerve injury, causing significant pain and dysfunction.
  • Existing treatments for neuromas have limitations, necessitating novel approaches.
  • Regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) surgery has emerged as a promising solution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI) surgery.
  • To highlight the simplicity and effectiveness of RPNI for surgeons.
  • To establish RPNI as a valuable addition to the reconstructive surgeon's armamentarium.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the basic science of neuroma formation and prevention.
  • Explanation of the underlying theory of RPNI.
  • Anatomical review and surgical technique for RPNI across amputation levels.
  • Consideration of RPNI for traumatic neuromas from various causes.

Main Results:

  • RPNI surgery is a reproducible and reliable strategy for neuroma treatment and prevention.
  • RPNI serves as an effective interface for neuroprosthetics.
  • The surgical technique is presented with anatomical considerations for diverse clinical scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • RPNI surgery is a straightforward and effective procedure for managing neuromas.
  • The technique holds significant potential for both neuroma treatment and neuroprosthetic applications.
  • Further adoption of RPNI by reconstructive surgeons is encouraged for improved patient outcomes.
