Treatment of Iatrogenic Saphenous Neuroma after Knee Arthroscopy with Excision and Allograft Reconstruction

Conclusions: Here, we report on a novel technique of using a processed human nerve allograft after neuroma resection to provide an organized environment for bridging regenerated axons into muscle tissue. We also describe our early results using this technique to treat iatrogenic saphenous neuromas after knee arthroscopy. Results are encouraging, with 6 of the 9 patients experiencing subjective reduction in pain at final follow-up.
