Abstract
Two cases of painful amputation neuroma treated by a new method are described. A vascularized island transfer from a less important finger was used, but the accompanying nerve was divided and its distal end sutured to the proximal end of the nerve in the recipient finger, after excision of the neuroma. Four years and two years later, no clinical evidence of neuroma was present at either amputation stump or donor site.
