Summary

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

Detailed 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.

Conditions

• Peripheral Nerve Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	primary repair	during the first days,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.
PROCEDURE	secondary repair	after one 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.
