Author and Disclosure Information

We present the case of an 18-year-old woman who was healthy other than a history of multiple arthroscopic right knee surgeries culminating in subto­tal lateral meniscectomy in a valgus knee. The patient was referred to our office for evaluation for realignment osteotomy and meniscal transplan­tation. Her diagnosed case of neuro­ma of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve was managed with neurectomy, which produced prompt and complete resolution of pain.
