An electrophysiological and morphometric study of the effect of different methods of surgical repair in motor and mixed nerve: a comparison of the repair of the facial nerve and the median nerve in a large animal [PDF]
The outcome of peripheral nerve injuries has been poorly documented. This is due to the heterogeneity of the injuries, the variety of surgeons from different surgical specialities performing the repairs and a lack of objective follow up.

Nerve Transfers in the Treatment of Peripheral Nerve Injuries [PDF]
Successful re-innervation of proximal limb peripheral nerve injuries is rare. Axons regenerate at ~1 mm/day, reaching hand muscles by 24 months, finding them atrophied and fibrosed.

The role of dietary nutrients in peripheral nerve regeneration [PDF]
Peripheral nerves are highly susceptible to injuries induced from everyday activities such as falling or work and sport accidents as well as more severe incidents such as car and motorcycle accidents.

TRAUMATIC INJURY OF PERIPHERAL NERVES. [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injuries constitute a very interesting chapter in railroad surgery, on account of the uncertainty of the remote effects on the nerves themselves and on the organs and parts supplied by them. As implied in the above statement, peripheral nerve injuries may be considered under two heads: 1, the effects of injury on the nerve itself ; 2 ...

A novel statistical methodology for quantifying the spatial arrangements of axons in peripheral nerves [PDF]
A thorough understanding of the neuroanatomy of peripheral nerves is required for a better insight into their function and the development of neuromodulation tools and strategies. In biophysical modeling, it is commonly assumed that the complex spatial arrangement of myelinated and unmyelinated axons in peripheral nerves is random, however, in reality ...

Traumatic injury to peripheral nerves
AbstractThis article reviews the epidemiology, classification, localization, prognosis, and mechanisms of recovery of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs). Electrodiagnostic (EDx) assessments are critical components of treating patients with PNIs.
