What Is Traumatic Neuroma?

Traumatic neuroma: When the peripheral nerve is damaged, if the severed ends are too far apart, or if there is a scar or other tissue block between the ends, or the distal end is lost due to amputation, the regenerating axon cannot reach the distal end, and Hyperplastic connective tissue is mixed together, curled into clumps, and becomes traumatic neuroma, which can cause refractory pain.

Pathological significance of traumatic neuroma

Refers to nerve fiber rupture, if the two ends of the rupture are too far apart and / or there is fibrous tissue proliferation, or the distal end is lost due to amputation, the newly added axon at the proximal end is less than the distal nerve membrane cell Twisted with the proliferating fibrous tissue to form a tumor-like mass.
