Abstract
Understanding the anatomy and response to injury of the peripheral nerve is important for the surgeon treating peripheral nerve injuries. Appropriate treatment also requires proper classification of the injury. Although great advances have been made in the area of microsurgical repair, results remain unpredictable. Future work in the areas of immunology, nerve conduits, and growth factors will, it is hoped, provide further information to allow for better functional recovery.
