Since its introduction in the late 1879's, surgical restoration of function following peripheral
nerve injury has made significant progress (Naff and Ecklund, 2001). The development of …

Damage to the peripheral nervous system is surprisingly common and occurs primarily from
trauma or a complication of surgery. Although recovery of nerve function occurs in many mild …

Peripheral nerve injury can have a potentially devastating impact on a patient's quality of life,
resulting in severe disability with substantial social and personal cost. Refined microsurgical …

Peripheral nerve reconstruction continues to evolve and expand with the ongoing
improvement in our understanding of internal nerve topography, advances in microsurgical …

Abstract ULNAR NERVE INJURIES can be severely debilitating and result in weakness of
wrist flexion, loss of hand intrinsic function, and ulnar-sided hand anesthesia. When these …

Essentially any source of trauma or exposure, from the nerve roots at the cervical foramina to
the digital nerves of the hand, has the potential to injure or disrupt a peripheral nerve and …

In cases of complex neuromuscular defects, finding the proximal stump of a transected nerve
in order to restore innervation to damaged muscle is often impossible. In this study we …

End-to-side (ETS) nerve repair remains an area of intense scrutiny for peripheral nerve
surgeon-scientists. In this technique, the transected end of an injured nerve, representing …

Abstract End-to-side (ETS) nerve repair, in which the distal stump of a transected nerve is
coapted to the side of an uninjured donor nerve, offers a technique for repair of peripheral …

Within the past decade, there have been multiple innovations in the field of nerve surgery. In
this review, we highlight critical changes and innovations that have helped advance the field …
