The patient presented with sudden non\u2013weight-bearing lameness 10 days after iatrogenic tibial nerve injury during preparation of a reverse saphenous conduit flap. The dog showed severe pain at the surgical site without nerve deficits. A magnetic resonance imaging examination revealed an enlarged tibial nerve at the injury site, consistent with a neuroma. Analgesics were administered over 11 days, but the patient remained in severe pain and non\u2013weight-bearing. Therefore, surgical resection was recommended. The fusiform neuroma was resected microsurgically, and a saphenous nerve graft was transplanted using an epineural nerve repair technique. Histopathological examination was consistent with a neuroma. The dog showed immediate pain relief and weight-bearing the day after surgery with normal motor function. The dog made a full recovery by the last follow-up 6 mo after surgery. If patients develop pain and lameness following surgery or nerve injury, neuroma formation must be considered, even shortly after surgery. Microsurgical resection and autologous nerve transplantation using an epineural nerve repair technique is a viable method to treat painful neuromas and minimize the risk for recurrence in dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-7416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,17]],"date-time":"2024-06-17T15:26:43Z","timestamp":1718638003000},"page":"164-168","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Management of an Early-Onset, Painful Tibial Nerve Neuroma Using an Autologous Nerve Graft"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Viktoria","family":"Brandstetter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From Tierarztpraxis am Stadtpark, Vienna, Austria (V.B., G.H.); and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Radtke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, General Hospital Vienna, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria (C.R., P.S.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Supper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, General Hospital Vienna, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria (C.R., P.S.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Haimel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From Tierarztpraxis am Stadtpark, Vienna, Austria (V.B., G.H.); and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"i1547-3317-60-4-164-b1","series-title":"Vet Pathol","first-page":"61","article-title":"Amputation neuroma of docked tails in dogs","volume":"27","author":"Gross","year":"1990","unstructured":"Gross\n              TL,\n            \n            \n              Carr\n              SH.\n            \n          \n          Amputation neuroma of docked tails in dogs.
