Figure 2. Illustration of the potential techniques for centrocentral anastomosis (CCA) of the tibial and peroneal nerves in the case of neuroma treatment after above-the-knee amputation. After resection of the neuromas from the distal ends of the tibial and peroneal nerves (A); these nerves can either be directly connected (B) or with the use of a graft (C), in which an extra segment of nerve is obtained from either the tibial or peroneal nerve and is placed between the transected nerve ends of these nerves (D).
