✦ Synopsis

The results of primary repair of peripheral nerve injury in the upper extremity are reported for 143 nerves in 120 patients, with a mean follow-up of 24 months. Normal values for static and moving two-point discrimination were established and related to the person's age. Sensory reeducation was employed routinely in the postoperative rehabilitation program. Moving two-point discrimination recovered to a better level in 61%, the same level in 38%, and a worse level in 1% than static two-point discrimination after nerve repair. Results for digital, median, ulnar, and radial nerve repairs are reported.
