Abstract
Traumatic neuroma formation results in persistent post‐operative pain after amputation, which reduces quality of life in patients. In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.201700876, Yixia Yin, Honglian Dai, and co‐workers report a method to prevent traumatic neuroma formation after surgery by using a synthetic polymeric capping conduit that can act as a physical barrier to inhibit the invasion of inflammatory infiltration and promote nerve repair.
