Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which surgical approach is better for clean transection injury in peripheral nerves in outcomes.

Detailed Description

Treatment of injuries to major nerve trunks in the hand and upper extremity remains a major and challenging reconstructive problem. Our goal was to compare primary versus secondary repair of median and\or ulnar nerve by electrodiagnostic assessment and clinical examination.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

motor function

Time Frame: at 18 months post-operatively

identification of motor level were done based on British Medical Research Council guided.The abductor pollicis brevis (APB) was used for the median nerve and the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) for the ulnar nerve. as follows: 0, M0, M1 and M2; 1, M3; 2, M4.

Secondary Outcomes

  • sensory recovery(at 18 months post-operatively)
  • nerve conduction velocity(at 18 months post-operatively)
  • electromyography(at 18 months post-operatively)
