Abstract
Within the past decade, there have been multiple innovations in the field of nerve surgery. In this review, we highlight critical changes and innovations that have helped advance the field and present opportunities for further study. This includes the modification and clarification of the classification schema for nerve injuries which informs prognosis and treatment, and a refined understanding and application of electrodiagnostic studies to guide patient selection. We provide indications for operative intervention based on this nerve injury classification and propose strategies best contoured for varying injury presentations at differing time points. Lastly, we discuss new developments in surgical techniques and approaches based on these advancements.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Neurology is a review journal on current trends in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological diseases. Areas of coverage include multiple sclerosis, central nervous system infections, muscular dystrophy, neuro-immunology, spinal disorders, strokes, epilepsy, motor neuron diseases, movement disorders, higher cortical function, neuro-genetics and neuro-ophthamology. Each issue is presented under the direction of an expert guest editor, and invited contributors focus on a single, high-interest clinical topic.
Up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest information in the field makes this journal an invaluable resource for neurologists and residents.
