Variation on a technique for the intra-muscular insertion of nerve endings to minimise neuropathic and residual pain in lower limb amputees: a retrospective cohort study.

Surgical insertion of nerve endings into adjacent muscle bellies during lower limb amputation is a simple yet effective way of minimising PLP and RLP, improving patients' subsequent quality of life. Additional comparisons with targeted muscle reinnervation should be performed to determine the optimal treatment option.
