♦ Nerve injuries are common♦ The history is usually clear but the examination may be less so♦ Neurophysiology is only useful after 3 weeks♦ Imaging is of limited value as yet♦ Treatment is removal of the cause/repair as appropriate♦ Recovery is dependent upon many factors especially patient age, severity of the injury, how proximal the injury is and the type of nerve♦ Post operative therapy is crucial♦ Late reconstruction is primarily for motor function.
