title: [Treatment of painful neuromas of the hand by intra-osseous implantation].
abstract: A number of techniques have been developed to prevent or treat painful neuromas in the hand. Intra-osseous implantation of the ends of the nerves, as described by Boldrey in 1943, has only been extensively applied over recent years. Between 1977 and 1983, we used this technique to treat twenty eight cases of painful neuromas in a group of twenty patients. All but two of the patients were permanently improved and the best results were obtained in neuromas of the anterior branch of the radial nerve.
