Etiology and Treatment Outcomes for Sural Neuroma.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Neuroma results from disorganized regeneration following nerve injury and may be symptomatic. The aim of this study was to investigate the causes, treatment, and outcomes of operatively treated sural neuromas, and to describe the factors associated with persistent or unchanged postoperative pain symptoms. METHODS:Consecutive patients with surgically treated sural neuromas in a 14-year period were identified using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes ( n = 49), followed by a chart review to collect patient and treatment characteristics. Postoperative pain symptoms were categorized as complete resolution of pain, improvement of pain, no change in pain, or worse pain. The median patient age was 46.5 years (interquartile range [IQR], 39.1-51.3), and median follow-up was 4.0 years (IQR, 1.9-9.2). RESULTS:Ninety percent of symptomatic sural neuromas developed as a result of previous lower extremity surgery. Initial surgery of sural neuroma led to improvement in pain in 63% of patients, and an additional 8.2% of the patients had improvement after secondary neuroma surgery. Pain relief after diagnostic injection showed a trend toward an association with postoperative pain improvement. Neuroma excision and implantation in muscle was the most common surgical technique used (67%). Four of the 7 patients that underwent a second neuroma operation reported symptom improvement. CONCLUSION:Sural neuromas may arise from prior surgery or trauma to the lower extremity. Surgical intervention resulted in either improvement or complete resolution of pain symptoms in 71% of patients, although occasionally more than one procedure was required to obtain symptomatic relief. Preoperative anesthetic injection may help identify patients that benefit from neuroma surgery. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.
