In this episode, Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, talks with Dr. Norbert Kang and Mr. Alex Woolard, both plastic surgeons at the Royal Free Hospital in London. They explore the use of targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) in upper-limb amputees, focusing on its impact on pain management and quality of life. While TMR has shown to provide lasting pain relief, they discuss its limited effect on improving functional outcomes for patients.
