TMR for Peripheral Sensory Nerve Neuroma around the Wrist Utilizing the Distal Anterior Interosseous Nerve.

ABSTRACT: Injury to the peripheral sensory nerves of the hand and wrist is common and can lead to debilitating neuromas and significantly impair patients' quality of life. Target-muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a novel method for treating neuromas that can result in significant clinical improvement. However, TMR for the peripheral sensory nerves in the hand and wrist is restricted by the limited options for motor branches. The adaptability of the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) as a target for TMR treating peripheral sensory neuroma has not been thoroughly investigated or implemented therapeutically. This study aimed to evaluate the use of AIN as a viable recipient of TMR for treating peripheral sensory neuromas around the wrist. In this retrospective study, eight patients were included over 18 mont
