Hand function after nerve repair.
Treatment of injuries to major nerve trunks in the hand and upper extremity remains a major and challenging reconstructive problem. Such injuries may cause long-lasting disabilities in terms of lost fine sensory and motor functions. Nowadays there is no surgical repair technique that can ensure recovery of tactile discrimination in the hand of an adult patient following nerve repair while very ...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Hand Function after Peripheral Nerve Injuries
The diagnosis, follow-up and final assessment of a peripheral nerve injury includes a detailed examination of the range of movement of individual joints, the power of individual muscles and the recovery of the various modalities of sensibility. Objective methods of examination and recording of results of such observations have been described by Seddon (1949). A numerical assessment of motor and...
متن کاملAdvances of Peripheral Nerve Repair Techniques to Improve Hand Function: A Systematic Review of Literature
Concepts of neuronal damage and repair date back to ancient times. The research in this topic has been growing ever since and numerous nerve repair techniques have evolved throughout the years. Due to our greater understanding of nerve injuries and repair we now distinguish between central and peripheral nervous system. In this review, we have chosen to concentrate on peripheral nerve injuries ...
متن کاملUltrastructural Changes in Spinal Motoneurons and Locomotor Functional Study after Sciatic Nerve Repair in Conduit Tube
Objective(s) Motor deficit and neuron degeneration is seen after nerve transection. The aim of this study is to determine whether a poled polyvinelidene fluoride (PVDF) tube with other supportive strategies can protect the neuronal morphology and motor function after sciatic nerve transaction in rats. Materials and Methods After transection of the left sciatic nerve in 60 male Wistar rats (2...
متن کاملNerve Growth Factor Changes and Corneal Nerve Repair after Keratoplasty
SIGNIFICANCE Measured tear concentration of nerve growth factor is correlated with postoperative corneal reinnervation among patients who undergo keratoplasty. This may be a future therapeutic target for post-keratoplasty corneal nerve regeneration. PURPOSE To determine the relationship between changes in the content of nerve growth factor (NGF) in tear fluid and corneal subepithelial nerve r...
