Pertinent Insights On The Surgical Technique Of Nerve Decompression And


Nerve Wrapping
Any surgical nerve decompression technique that involves nerve wrapping starts with
external neurolysis with, or more commonly without, internal neurolysis. Make an
incision over the involved nerve(s). If there was a previous incision, use the same
incision (if possible), extending it both proximally and distally. The proximal and distal
extensions of the prior incision allow the surgeon to identify the involved nerve(s) in CLASSIFIEDS

secondary to loss of the nerve’s extrinsic blood supply.4 UPCOMING EVENTS

Subsequent to the use of the synthetic silicone sheeting, I progressed to trying a Windy City Podiatry Conference

(/files/pt12nerve6.jpg)Campbell and colleagues examined the histologic


findings in a vein graft case study 17 months after surgery to try to
validate the proposed theoretical mechanisms.6 Specifically, histological
evaluation demonstrated viable vein graft with adequate vascularity evidenced by a
patent adventitial lumens. No degeneration of the vein graft occurred. Although
researchers did not detect an internal scar within the nerve, the study did identify an
obvious gliding surface between the nerve and vein graft. This finding suggests this to
be a less likely mechanism of action of a vein wrap.

Easley and Schon reviewed their series of vein wrapping procedures used for adhesive
neuralgia in 25 patients.7 They used the saphenous vein in 19 cases and a fetal
umbilical vein in six cases. Twenty one of their 25 cases were entrapment neuropathies
of the posterior tibial nerve. Seventeen of the 25 patients were satisfied with the
procedure (with or without reservations) whereas eight patients gained minimal or no
relief of their symptoms. The indications for vein wrapping in this series were (a)
intractable neurogenic pain, (b) failure of the non-operative management protocol, (c)
temporary relief of symptoms after previous neurolysis with subsequent recurrence and
(d) clinical findings consistent with adhesive neuralgia. The primary limitations of the
use of autogenous vein grafts to wrap a nerve are donor site morbidity and added
surgical time to harvest the vein graft.

Exploring The Potential Of Emerging Modalities For Nerve Wrapping


(/files/pt12nervechart.png)In an e!ort to eliminate the limitations of
obtaining an autogenous biologic graft, numerous other materials have
emerged as potential nerve wraps (see “A Guide To Available FDA
Approved Absorbable Nerve Protectant Wraps” at left). The SaluTunnel (SaluMedica)
nerve device is composed of a hydrophilic, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel that is a
non-resorbable biomaterial. The synthetic material emerged in 2010 and o!ers the
advantage of water content in similar proportions to human tissue and a stable
mechanical structure that one can easily sterilize. The material is available in 2 mm, 5
mm and 10 mm diameters and a fixed length of 6.35 cm. The length of the SaluTunnel is
the longest available and one can shorten it as desired. The key limitations to the
material are its non-degradable nature and the lack of any clinical studies examining its
use.3

Another material introduced for nerve wrapping is the AxoGuard Nerve Protector
(AxoGen). This xenograft material is a strong, pliable, cell-free collagen matrix
composed of porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS). The SIS material degrades over
a three-month period. The AxoGuard Nerve Protector is available in a range of
diameters from 2 mm to 10 mm with each diameter available in 2 cm and 4 cm lengths.
Several clinical studies have assessed its use and the SIS material appears to do well
with human implantation without any obvious adverse immunologic response.3

(/files/pt12nerve7_0.jpg)The other two FDA-approved nerve wrap


materials are NeuraWrap (Integra LifeSciences) and NeuroMend
(Stryker), which are both comprised of bovine-derived type I collagen.
Type I collagen is abundant, easily isolated and purified, and available in
varying degrees of resorbability. Further, type I collagen has an established record of
biocompatibility and typically has a minimal immunologic response. NeuraWrap and
NeuroMend di!er primarily in their resorption rate with NeuraWrap degrading in 36 to
48 months and NeuroMend degrading in four to eight months. The shorter degradation
time may be desirable in nerve wrap indications as a longer time for complete
biodegradation may lead to nerve compression. NeuraWrap is available in diameters of
3 mm to 10 mm and lengths of 2 cm and 4 cm. NeuroMend is available in diameters of

https://www.podiatrytoday.com/guide-nerve-wrapping-tarsal-tunnel-surgery Page 4 of 7

4 mm to 12 mm (the largest diameter available of any of the nerve wrap biomaterials)


and lengths of 2.5 cm and 5 cm. NeuroMend is designed to be self-curling to match the
outer dimensions of the released nerve(s).1-2

Amniotic Membrane: Can It Have An Impact For Nerve Wrapping?


Finally, the last biomaterial currently being used as a nerve wrap is human amniotic
membrane. When one uses amniotic membrane as a biomaterial, it is easily obtainable,
has no donor site morbidity, has minimal inflammatory response, degrades with time
and may enhance nerve healing (i.e., neurotrophic e!ect).

There are no current studies assessing the value of using an amniotic membrane wrap
for revisional tarsal tunnel decompressions. However, there is mounting animal
research evidence and a few case reports in humans that strongly support its
continued use and investigation.

(/files/pt12nerve8.jpg)In 2010, Kim and coworkers reported their study


results assessing the e!ect of wrapping human amniotic membrane
around the repaired ulnar nerve in a New Zealand rabbit model of
perineural adhesion.8 The investigators found that amniotic membrane
can reduce fibrosis and adhesion around neurorrhaphy sites in their animal model.

In 2011, Meng and colleagues published their assessment of the use of processed
human(/)amniotic membrane as a protective barrier in nerve defects created in Sprague Login (/user/login)
Dawley rats.9 The authors reported that wrapping of the sciatic nerves of rats with
human amniotic membrane enhanced functional recovery and nerve regeneration Subscribe (/e-news)
during the early stage after surgical injury and repair.

In 2014, Fesli and colleagues assessed the enhancement of the nerve healing potential
of a combined use of amniotic membrane wrap and granulocyte-colony-stimulating
factor injections after the primary repair of transected sciatic nerves in Wistar rats.10
The researchers concluded that their approach had supportive e!ects on nerve
regeneration.

Several isolated reports focus on the use of amniotic membrane wrapping of the
posterior tibial nerve and its terminal branches using products such as XWrap (Applied
Biologics), Clarix and Neox (Amniox Medical), and AlloWrap DS (AlloSource).11-13 When
using these products, wrap a sheet of the desired amniotic membrane material around
the decompressed nerve(s). The surgeon may or may not suture the wrap upon itself.
Do not suture the wrap to surrounding soft tissues.

(/files/pt12nerve9.jpg)What You Should Know About Postoperative


Care
The postoperative care following revisional nerve decompression with a
nerve wrap does not substantially di!er from the postoperative care of
the same surgery without the nerve wrap. If one has harvested autogenous tissue, such
as the saphenous vein graft, an additional dressing and appropriate precautions for
bleeding will be necessary. Typically, the patient stays non-weightbearing for the first
three to four weeks. The first dressing change most commonly happens in the first
seven to 10 days. At that time, apply a controlled ankle motion (CAM) walker boot and
instruct the patient to begin gentle range of motion exercises. Physical therapy and
weightbearing begin after three or four weeks, and increase after that based upon the
patient’s response.

Final Thoughts
Repeated nerve decompression (i.e., external neurolysis) alone does not always provide
satisfactory results in patients with recalcitrant tarsal tunnel syndrome. Surgeons can
use supplementary techniques with either synthetic or biologic adhesion barriers to

https://www.podiatrytoday.com/guide-nerve-wrapping-tarsal-tunnel-surgery Page 5 of 7

wrap the nerve, improving functional recovery and preventing recurrent scarring.
Knowledge of these materials and the evidence supporting their use is critical to
patient safety and successful surgical outcomes.

Future advances in bioengineering and a better understanding of nerve biology


combined with appropriately designed human studies may lead to the optimal method
of peripheral nerve reconstruction. At this point in time, nerve wrap techniques appear
to have a role in the salvage management of adhesive compressive neuritis. These
nerve wraps are designed to inhibit recurrent nerve tissue adhesions and diminish
inflammatory and immunologic reactions in peripheral nerve surgery.
