One must be cognizant of associated injuries such as fractures, vascular damage, and musculotendinous lacerations. The time since the injury, leve...

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...
متن کاملManagement of Missile Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Missile peripheral nerve injuries (MPNIs) usually receive secondary consideration, including deferred surgical treatment, mainly because they are not life threatening. Approximately 70% of missile wounds that require exploration include either a complete or partial section of nerve. Surgical management of these wounds is very demanding, requiring considerable attention during the initial examin...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve injury and repair.
Peripheral nerve injuries are common, and there is no easily available formula for successful treatment. Incomplete injuries are most frequent. Seddon classified nerve injuries into three categories: neurapraxia, axonotmesis, and neurotmesis. After complete axonal transection, the neuron undergoes a number of degenerative processes, followed by attempts at regeneration. A distal growth cone see...
