Abstract:The papers presented here, stimulated by a symposium held in January 1983, were co-ordinated by Rolfe Birch, who has also written the opening section. The symposium is not intended to provide a comprehensive guide to injuries of peripheral nerves but aims to acquaint the reader with today's thinking on certain theoretical and practical aspects and, of equal importance, to warn him of the dangers of iatrogenic injury.
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.
