It involves rerouting severed or injured nerves to new muscle targets using microsurgical techniques to provide the nerve endings with a new muscle to innervate. The new muscle target encourages the nerve to regenerate in an organized fashion, rather than disorganized regeneration that can lead to neuroma formation and pain. TMR can also improve a persons ability to use and control certain types of prosthetics. It is performed in patients undergoing limb amputation or in patients with painful neuromas after nerve injury.
