Plain-language summary

Finger amputations are common and may be complicated by debilitating nerve pain. This study seeks to determine if nerve pain after digital amputation can be more effectively prevented with either of two new surgical techniques-targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) or regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces (RPNI)-compared to standard treatment by traction neurectomy (TN).
