Peripheral Nerve Injuries in the Athlete

Sports Medicine, 1997
Peripheral nerves are susceptible to injury in the athlete because of the excessive physiological demands that are made on both the neurological structures and the soft tissues that protect them. The common mechanisms of injury are compression, traction, ischaemia and laceration.

Pleiotrophin and peripheral nerve injury

Neurosurgical Review, 2009
The proto-oncogene pleiotrophin, discovered in 1989, was considered as a multifunctional growth factor, which played an important role in tumor occurrence, development, and central nervous system. The latest research showed that pleiotrophin signal pathway probably participated in neural repair after peripheral nerve injury, especially in the following

Peripheral Nerve Response to Injury

Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, 2011
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons caring for patients who have sustained a nerve injury to a branch of the peripheral trigeminal nerve must possess a basic understanding of the response of the peripheral nerves to trauma. The series of events that subsequently take place are largely dependent on the injury type and severity.

Management of Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1986
The choice between repair or reconstruction in the management of nerve injury, and the determination on timing and the type of neurorrhaphy technique are clinical decisions that should be based on thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of nerve injury, the physiology of nerve healing, and the anatomy of peripheral nerves.

Peripheral Nerve Injury and Repair

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2000
Peripheral nerve injuries are common, and there is no easily available formula for successful treatment. Incomplete injuries are most frequent. Seddon classified nerve injuries into three categories: neurapraxia, axonotmesis, and neurotmesis. After complete axonal transection, the neuron undergoes a number of degenerative processes, followed by ...

Major Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Hand Clinics, 2013
Major peripheral nerve injuries in the upper extremities can result in significant morbidity. Understanding the pathophysiology of these injuries aids in the assessment and planning of appropriate treatment. With limited nerve mobilization, tension-free repairs can often be performed using sutures, fibrin glue, or nerve connectors.

Rehabilitation of peripheral nerve injuries

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2002
Traumatic injuries to peripheral nerves pose complex challenges to both military and civilian physicians. Treatment of nerve injuries must consider all aspects of the inherent disability. Pain control is of paramount importance. Little will be accomplished until pain is brought down to tolerable levels.
