The Efficacy of Major Peripheral Nerve Neuroma Surgery in Reducing Postoperative Opioid Use in Patients with Preoperative Opioid Use

Description/Abstract:	Hypothesis: We sought to evaluate whether surgical excision of major peripheral nerve neuromas (MPN) would reduce the use of opioids in patients with preoperative opioid use. Secondarily, we sought to determine whether additional surgical...
