After an amputation surgery, nearly 75% of patients experience pain. This can be in the remaining part of their limb, or phantom pain where the amputation took place. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery was developed in part by Gregory Dumanian, MD, at Northwestern Medicine, to address this issue.
TMR is an innovative procedure that can reduce post-amputation nerve pain by reconnecting amputated nerves to nearby nerves and muscle targets. It can also help you manage your prosthetics with natural muscle movement.
Our team can perform TMR at the same time as a planned amputation. We can also do TMR if you’ve had an amputation in the last 10 years.
We can help determine if TMR is right for you.
