Treatment of painful hand neuromas by their transfer into bone.
Painful neuromas in the hand are not only very disabling for the patient, but difficult to treat. We present the results of 20 painful neuromas treated by burying the neuroma in the bone. Eighteen of the 20 neuromas operated on had acceptable results, according to the criteria of Herndon et al. We present our technique and compare our results with other treatments in the literature.
