Nerve guides are increasingly being used in peripheral nerve repair. In the last decade, Much preclinical research has been undertaken into a resorbable nerve guide composed of p(DLLA-epsilon-CL). This report describes the results of secondary digital nerve reconstruction in the foot in a patient with post-traumatic neuromas of the common plantar digital nerves II-III and III-IV. The neuromas were resected and reconstruction of the nerves was carried out with resorbable Neurolac (R) nerve guides. The Pressure Specified Sensory Device (TM) was used to measure the static (s) and moving (m) 1- and 2-point discrimination (PD).
