Targeted Muscle Reinnervation

At The Hand & Upper Extremity Center of Georgia, we are committed to offering patients the latest techniques and procedures, and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons Dr. Allan Peljovich, Dr. Joshua Ratner, Dr. Bryce Gillespie, and Dr. Erika Templeton are providing targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR).

Targeted muscle reinnervation is an innovative orthopedic procedure that offers transformative results for amputees. This leading-edge surgical technique reroutes residual nerves from amputated limbs to close-by muscles that are still intact. TMR creates new neural pathways and enables intuitive control over advanced prosthetic devices, restoring both function and sensation. Patients experience enhanced mobility and a profound improvement in their quality of life. With the ability to use the body’s neuroplasticity, TMR represents a pivotal advancement in orthopedic care, giving patients back their freedom to pursue their passions with confidence.

Our specialists at The Hand & Upper Extremity Center of Georgia deliver high-quality care for your orthopedic needs. If you or a loved one is looking to restore function or sensation in a prosthetic, targeted muscle reinnervation may be an effective treatment.
