A novel treatment at The James significantly reduces pain for sarcoma patients. Dr. Ian Valerio explains how a procedure called Targeted Muscle Reinnervation, or TMR, provides more mobility with less pain to patients who undergo amputation due to sarcoma. During the procedure, James surgical specialists move the nerves that have been transected (cut across) to areas of muscle where they can then form a unit with that muscle—actually making them work again. The procedure markedly reduces pain for the patient, as well as the need for narcotics, while also enabling a prosthetic to act more like a natural limb.
