Peripheral nerve injuries are largely preventable injuries that can result from incorrect patient positioning during surgery. Patients who are diabetic, are extremely thin or obese, use tobacco, or undergo surgery lasting more than four hours are at increased risk for developing these injuries. When peripheral nerve injuries occur, patients may experience numbness, burning, or tingling and may ...
متن کاملVascularized peripheral nerve grafting promotes myelination of regrowing optic nerve.
We investigated whether the use of vascularized peripheral nerve grafts on the optic nerve stump enhances axonal regeneration of retinal ganglion cells compared with isolated nonvascularized grafts. The rat median nerve was microsurgically sutured with its supplying artery and vein to the optic nerve stump. The number of retinal ganglion cells with regenerating axons was evaluated by retrograde...
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 کاملPeripheral nerve injuries in the athlete.
Peripheral nerves are susceptible to injury in the athlete because of the excessive physiological demands that are made on both the neurological structures and the soft tissues that protect them. The common mechanisms of injury are compression, traction, ischaemia and laceration. Seddon's original classification system for nerve injuries based on neurophysiological changes is the most widely us...
