In the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), the most common techniques to treat painful neuromas include TMR and fascicular split (FS). TMR involves coaptating the transected mixed nerve to functional motor nerves, showing promising results in recent studies. FS is a technique closely related to neurectomy with implantation in a functio
