TMR (targeted muscle reinnervation) or RPNI (regenerative peripheral nerve interface) have been the standard after nerve injuries. In this case report, we explain our approach in combining these two techniques (TMRpni) for a patient undergoing left above-the-knee amputation. Using this method, both phantom and nerve pain were reduced in our patient's case. As this technique becomes more well understood and widely adopted, amputee patients may achieve a greater quality of life post operation.
靶向肌肉再支配(TMR)或再生周围神经接口(RPNI)已成为神经损伤后的标准治疗方法。在本病例报告中,我们阐述了针对一名接受左大腿截肢手术的患者联合应用这两种技术(TMRpni)的方法。采用这种方法,我们的患者的幻肢痛和神经痛均有所减轻。随着这项技术得到更深入的理解并被广泛应用,截肢患者术后的生活质量可能会得到更大提高。
