Neuromas are caused by irregular and disorganized regeneration following nerve injury. Many surgical techniques have been described to address neuroma with varying success. The aim of this study was to evaluate predictive factors for secondary surgery after initial surgical intervention for symptomatic neuroma along with a description of the anatomical distribution of surgically treated symptomatic neuromas.
