Abstract

Many techniques have been developed for the evaluation of peripheral nerve function. Consequently, physicians use different techniques in the clinic. This study describes the evaluation of touch after median nerve lesions in the forearm and repair. In order to evaluate touch, 25 patients, aged 11–51 years (mean, 29 years), were evaluated 3–10.5 years (mean, 5 years) after median nerve repair. The evaluation included the moving two‐point discrimination test and Semmes‐Weinstein monofilaments. We showed that 32% good–excellent results can be obtained with difficult nerve lesions. The results could have been improved if a sensory reeducation regime had been applied. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. MICROSURGERY 23:2–5 2003
