Core Tip	Development of infrapatellar saphenous neuroma after total knee arthroplasty should be considered a potential reason for persistent pain in an otherwise non-infected, well-fixed, and well-aligned joint. Before total knee arthroplasty, patients should be warned for the risk of nerve injury and neuroma formation. Neuroma excision provides excellent pain relief and improves knee function and range of motion.
