Of the many procedures for treating painful neuromas, resection and proximal translocation are the most usual techniques, but these can decrease distal sensibility increasing deafferentation pain. In cases of intricate pain (nociception plus deafferentation), certain types of flaps allow the treatment of both components of the pain. We have used 30 such flaps in 28 patients: local flaps (exchange, advancement or lasso island flaps) and distant flaps (free "custom-made" toe flaps).The results of the different techniques provides 86.6% excellent or good results.
