Neuroma Prevention: Painful Terminal Neuroma Prevention by Capping PRGD/PDLLA Conduit in Rat Sciatic Nerves (Adv. Sci. 6/2018)

摘要

Traumatic neuroma formation results in persistent post‐operative pain after amputation, which reduces quality of life in patients. In article number 1700876 , Yixia Yin, Honglian Dai, and co‐workers report a method to prevent traumatic neuroma formation after surgery by using a synthetic polymeric capping conduit that can act as a physical barrier to inhibit the invasion of inflammatory infiltration and promote nerve repair.
