Abstract

Acute management includes physical examination at the time of injury as a baseline for more detailed evaluations of motor and sensory function. The decision regarding type of nerve suture is based on the extent of the extremity wound and the cause of injury. In the closed extremity injury, spontaneous nerve recovery can be correlated with cause of injury. The evaluation of clinical recovery is based on nerve return and extremity coordination.
