Abstract Objective To study the diagnostic value of high frequency ultrasound in traumatic neuroma.Methods Thirty-two cases with traumatic neuroma were retrospectively collected and analyzed. High-frequency ultrasound was used to observe the location, size, morphology, number, internal echo status, internal blood flow, and the relationship with peripheral nerve and surrounding tissues.Results Thirty-two cases were collected, and the average age was (43.1±16.6) years old, with 29 cases under 60 years old; the largest lesion was 2.1 cm ×2.7 cm, and the smallest was 0.4 cm ×0.2 cm; 23 cases were oval, 6 cases were round-like, and 3 cases were irregular; 23 cases were with clear boundary and 9 were with blurred boundary; 21 cases showed uneven hypoechoic inside, 9 cases had a little hyperechoic inside, and 2 cases had a mixed echo inside; there were 27cases with nerve continuation, but no significant neurological continuity was found in 5 cases; color Doppler examination showed no obvious blood flow signal in 20 cases, 6 cases of peripheral blood flow signal, 5 cases of internal blood flow signal and 1 case of peripheral and internal blood flow signal; there were 20 patients with pain, numbness and other sensory abnormalities after pressure.Conclusion High frequency ultrasound can effectively evaluate traumatic neuroma and provide effective information for clinical treatment plan.
