[The flexor digitorum superficialis flap in treatment of neuroma in continuity of the median nerve].
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the flexor digitorum superficialis flap in treatment of neuroma-in-continuity of the median nerve at the wrist. We reviewed six patients operated from September 2000 to March 2007. In all cases, daily disabling pain has been significantly reduced. Four patients are very satisfied. It is a local flap, easy to harvest with few morbidity. We compare it with the various options described for this pathology.
