Abstract
Age and mechanism of injury, both out of the control of the surgeon, seem to be the prime determinants of functional outcome following nerve repair. Careful application of the principles of nerve repair can ensure that the appropriate method of repair--primary, secondary, or nerve graft--is selected, and this may be the best way to increase the chances for a successful result.
