    Interdigital direct neurorrhaphy for treatment of painful neuroma due to finger amputation
    (2015) MARTINS, Roberto Sergio; SIQUEIRA, Mario Gilberto; HEISE, Carlos Otto; YENG, Lin Tchia; ANDRADE, Daniel Ciampi de; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen
    Painful neuroma following amputation is a disabling condition for which treatments are not usually satisfactory. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the results of interdigital neurorrhaphy after neuroma resection as an option for the surgical treatment of painful digital neuroma. We retrospectively analyzed data from seven patients submitted to interdigital neurorrhaphy for treatment of digital neuroma. For evaluation of the results, the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain assessment, measurements with Simmens-Weinstein filaments and a handgrip dynamometer, and quantification of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score were all performed. The mean improvements on the VAS and DASH scores were calculated. The mean follow-up was 28.3 months. All patients presented some degree of improvement in upper limb functionality and pain, and handling the affected finger was possible in all cases. The mean improvement on the VAS and DASH scores was 29.8 and 55.5 %, respectively. No patients presented long-term complications. Although this study was based on a small number of patients, it indicates that interdigital neurorrhaphy seems to be a feasible surgical treatment for painful digital neuroma.

    Neonatal brachial plexus palsy: a permanent challenge
    (2015) HEISE, Carlos Otto; MARTINS, Roberto; SIQUEIRA, Mario
    Neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) has an incidence of 1.5 cases per 1000 live births and it has not declined despite recent advances in obstetrics. Most patients will recover spontaneously, but some will remain severely handicapped. Rehabilitation is important in most cases and brachial plexus surgery can improve the functional outcome of selected patients. This review highlights the current management of infants with NBPP, including conservative and operative approaches.
