Who can benefit from targeted muscle reinnvervationTargeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical technique that can benefit individuals who have undergone an amputation of a limb or who have a non-functioning limb due to nerve damage. TMR can also be used for individuals who have a limb salvage procedure, where a limb is saved from amputation, but still have residual limb pain or phantom limb pain. TMR is most commonly performed on individuals with upper limb amputations, but it can also be used for lower limb amputations. Candidates for TMR include individuals with a functional amputation who are motivated to use a prosthesis or individuals with residual limb pain or phantom limb pain. TMR is also beneficial for individuals who have not been successful with traditional prosthetic fitting or who are seeking improved control and functionality of their prosthesis. It can also help to reduce phantom limb pain and improve quality of life for amputees.

Overall, osseointegration is a promising technique that can significantly improve the lives of people with a limb. However, it is important to note that it is a complex surgical procedure that requires careful consideration and planning. Patients should work closely with their medical team to determine if osseointegration is the right choice for them.
