What is a traumatic neuroma?

Traumatic neuroma is an area of ​​increased sensitivity and sometimes pain that develops due to physical trauma to the nerve. The most common cause is surgery, but traumatic neuromas can also be caused by cuts, needle punctures and other events. Treatment of this condition usually involves an evaluation of a neurologist and may require surgery to remove the damaged nerve. This must be done carefully to avoid deterioration. Sometimes nerve cells begin to grow unpleasant. They regenerate quickly and accidentally to create a cluster of nerve cells that shoot in all directions instead of a series of aligned fibers that can smoothly broadcast signals about feelings. It is a traumatic neuroma, also known as amputation neuroma, one of the most common causes of this condition.

Any pressure on the area around the nerve can Cause Sharp, burning pain and discomfort. Sometimes they shoot nerves randomly, without any sensory entry, and can cause the patient to cause phantom pain and irritation. In someCases may be severe from traumatic neuroma and the patient may develop emotional anxiety and physical fatigue due to chronic pain. The neurologist can evaluate the place and determine the location of the traumatic neuroma.

Surgery to remove a bundle of wandering nerve fibers is often the most suitable and effective solution. The surgeon can carefully cut the neurome and chronic patient pain should stop. One potential risks of surgery is that traumatic neuroma could repeat after surgery, which potentially requires more operations to remove new nerve growth. If it becomes permanent and does not respond to surgical treatment, the doctor may consider possibilities such as nerve blocks to pain or electric stimulation.

The reasons for the formation of traumatic neuroma are unclear. Surgeons who repeatedly perform the same procedures could find outThat some patients develop neuromas, but others don't. Such growth may be associated with the nature of trauma, but not necessarily and do not seem to have any significant effect on neuroma formation. Some people who experience violent spontaneous amputation, for example in a traffic accident, are treated without nervous complications, but patients who undergo routine operations with carefully controlled trauma could develop recurring neuromas.
