Transradial Amputation With Nerve Management: Case Presentation and Surgical Technique.

Transradial amputation of appropriate length preserves forearm rotation and facilitates prosthetic use; however, high rates of phantom limb pain and neuropathic medication use persist. This case describes a multidisciplinary approach to transradial amputation that integrates targeted muscle reinnervation, regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces, and bone and soft tissue management to optimize pain control and prosthetic success. A 29-year-old man with a severe ballistic injury and complex regional pain syndrome underwent transradial amputation with targeted muscle reinnervation and regenerative peripheral nerve interface. Limb length was preserved in accordance with prosthetic guidelines, and myodesis was performed to improve residual limb stability and myoelectric signal quality. This case highlights how nerve management and prosthetic-informed surgical planning optimizes functional outcomes and quality of life after traumatic transradial amputation.
