Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Study (TMR)
Sponsor: University of Arizona
Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of targeted muscle reinnervation on the outcomes of amputees at a level 1 trauma center. The investigators propose to randomize all patients requiring amputation with and without targeted muscle reinnervation. This study will help delineate the efficacy of targeted muscle reinnervation in the general population.
Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Targeted Muscle Reinnervation in Patients Requiring Lower Extremity Amputation.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation
When a nerve is severed or injured, it attempts to regenerate. The TMR procedure will transfer the transected nerves to adjacent muscle nerves in efforts to encourage the nerve to regenerate in an organized fashion.
