About

The purpose of this study is to determine which surgical approach is better for clean transection injury in peripheral nerves in outcomes.

Full description

Treatment of injuries to major nerve trunks in the hand and upper extremity remains a major and challenging reconstructive problem. Our goal was to compare primary versus secondary repair of median and\or ulnar nerve by electrodiagnostic assessment and clinical examination.

Description:

secondary closure beyond the first week.the nerve was conducted to repair as end to end (epi-epineurium, epi-epineurium) anastomosis. This was performed following the repair of present tendons and muscle injuries.
