Localized hypertrophic mononeuropathy is a progressive process associated with pathological nerve changes that correlate with eventual severe functional loss. If intraoperative histological examination shows onion bulb neuropathy and intraoperative nerve action potentials confirm a nonfunctioning or poorly functioning segment, lesion resection with interposition graft repair provides the possibility of some degree of recovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
