Nerve injuries – A review

Abstract

Surgeons like to prevent nerve injuries on limit them to the mildest type; however, this is something that is often beyond the control of the health care professional. If a more damaging injury is encountered preventing the degeneration of the distal segment of the nerve is undesirable because this developmental like environment allows peripheral nerve regeneration to take place at its best inherent abilities. The goal in the early management of nerve injuries is to decide as soon as possible which injuries will profit from early repair and which should be followed.
