GUNSHOT INJURIES OF THE PERIPHERAL NERVES AND THEIR TREATMENT

Gunshot Wounds of Peripheral Nerves

Injuries of peripheral nerves occur in wounds due to Projectiles of high velocity with great frequency, and their successful treatment is of the highest importance in the prevention of permanent disabilities of the most serious kind.. It may be said at once that we are not yet in a position to make positive statements as to what the ultimate results of nerve injuries and the operations undertak...

Injuries to Peripheral Nerves

the proximal to the distal segment. These cells may be formed by the breaking up of the myelon sheath, and it is asserted by some of the exponents of centrifugal regeneration that it is by means of these newly-organized myelon fragments that a chemical attraction is created which enables the new axons to find their way into the partly obliterated distal cord. All this doubt and speculation make...

War Injuries of Peripheral Nerves.

Iatrogenic injuries of peripheral nerves.

In this study, we discuss 68 cases in which peripheral nerve trunks were inadvertently divided by surgeons. Most of these accidents occurred in the course of planned operations. Delay in diagnosis and in effecting repair was common. We list the nerves particularly at risk and the operations in which special care is needed. We recommend steps to secure prompt diagnosis and early treatment.

Chacteristics of Vibration Injuries in Peripheral Nerves

Animals: Twenty four male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 350-400 grams were randomly divided into two groups: sham control group and vibrated group. To document vibration-induced changes in the experimental model, the sciatic nerve was used because it contains both motor and sensory fibers and is relatively superficial in the posterior thigh. Customized Vibrating Platform: The hind limbs of the r...
