Advances in reconstructive options of nerve injuries in the hand

Abstract: The author summarizes the most important data about the development of reconstructive techniques of nerve injuries in the hand based on literature references and the author's own experience in the past decades. A new bulk of knowledge turned into a common property related to the micro- and macroanatomic structure of peripheral nerves, the process of nerve regeneration, and the technical conditions of nerve reconstructive operations. This knowledge is a prerequisite for hand surgeons to perform their nerve reco… Show more

“…The recovery of sensory function requires not only quality nerve suture, but also the use of drugs on promoting nerve regeneration to accelerate neurological recovery [14]. The earlier the sensation occurs, the better the sensory function recovers [15]. Its mechanism of action is as follows: methyl VitB 12 can transfer into cell organelle of nerve cells flexibly, with a higher content in peripheral nerves, compared with ordinary VitB 12 [16].…”

“…A new bulk of knowledge turned into a common property related to the micro-and macroanatomic structure of peripheral nerves, the process of nerve regeneration, and the technical conditions of nerve reconstructive operations. This knowledge is a prerequisite for hand surgeons to perform their nerve reconstructive operations on a contemporary high level with an optimal result [46]. In nerve injury with nervous gap, no restitution method was found better than the autograft, however, it has the disadvantage of damaging a normal nerve to be used as a graft.…”
