AB269. SOH26AB_0080. Phantom limb pain and sciatic nerve hydrodissection: a case report

Aidan O’Dowd, James Duncan, Dominic Harmon

Abstract

Phantom limb pain can occur after limb amputation (50–80%). It is a persistent pain after amputation. It is different to stump pain and phantom sensation. Hydrodissection is a minimally invasive technique involving the injection of fluid to separate fascial layers and release entrapped nerves and tendons. Its use in chronic phantom limb pain has not been reported.
