Surgeon Preferences on Timing and Application of Postamputation Peripheral Nerve Interventions

TMR and RPNI are increasingly adopted for treatment and prophylaxis of neuroma. However, referral rates remain low and are limited by coordination challenges and inconsistent consultation pathways. There appears to be a growing proportion of surgeons strategically employing these techniques prophylactically regardless of years in practice or practice setting, possibly due to the increasing body of evidence at single-site studies. These findings highlight the need for broader interdisciplinary awareness, streamlined referral pathways, and continued efforts to translate emerging evidence into clinical practice.

Abstract

TMR and RPNI are increasingly adopted for treatment and prophylaxis of neuroma. However, referral rates remain low and are limited by coordination challenges and inconsistent consultation pathways. There appears to be a growing proportion of surgeons strategically employing these techniques prophylactically regardless of years in practice or practice setting, possibly due to the increasing body of evidence at single-site studies. These findings highlight the need for broader interdisciplinary awareness, streamlined referral pathways, and continued efforts to translate emerging evidence into clinical practice.
