MÉTODO: Três pacientes foram operados e acompanhados por um período de oito meses. A técnica cirúrgica consistiu na neurotomia dos ramos infrapatelar e descendente do nervo safeno interno. RESULTADOS: Nos dois primeiros casos houve quase desaparecimento total da dor em pouco tempo e no terceiro apenas melhora. CONCLUSÃO: O tratamento cirúrgico dá bons resultados neste tipo de lesão do nervo safeno interno e poderia ser útil como alternativa ao tratamento conservador. |
