This article reviews the epidemiology and classification of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries, the effects of these injuries on nerve and muscle, and how electrodiagnosis is used to help classify the injury. Mechanisms of recovery are also reviewed. Motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, need
## Abstract We have recently shown in experimental nerve injury models that nerve regeneration is enhanced across a motor nerve graft as compared with a sensory nerve graft. To test the hypothesis that nerve architecture may mediate the beneficial effect of motor nerve grafting, we developed a mode
## Abstract We report on the surgical results of spinal accessory nerve injuries between 1992โ2003. We operated on 10 patients (9 female, and 1 male) who had injuries of the spinal accessory nerve. All injuries were iatrogenic. The mean age of patients was 39.2 years (range, 20โ57 years). The avera
Wallerian degeneration following peripheral nerve injury is associated with increased production of fibronectin and other extracellular matrix molecules that are thought to enhance repair. We have shown previously that alternative splicing of the mRNA for fibronectin also changes following sciatic n
A cut or crush injury to a peripheral nerve results in the degeneration of that portion of the axon isolated from the cell body. The rapid degeneration of this distal segment was for many years believed to be a process intrinsic to the nerve. It was believed that Schwann cells both phagocytosed dege
