Study of Nerve Repair and Reconstruction Associated With Major Extremity Trauma

Inclusion Criteria

• •1. Ages 18-65
• •2. Sustained a peripheral nerve injury (including iatrogenic injuries and partial nerve injuries) resulting from upper extremity trauma meeting the following criteria:
• •1. Involves injury or dysfunction to motor, or motor and sensory function of the axillary, radial, median, ulnar, or musculocutaneous nerve with injury localized distal to the brachial plexus cord level and proximal to the distal flexion crease of the wrist
• •2. Involves a "mixed" nerve segment (i.e. involves a location of any of the above specified nerves that can be expected to have both sensory and motor axons present) but does not include sensory only distal terminations of the same nerves.
• •3. Receiving surgical treatment (i.e. exploration, neurolysis, repair or reconstruction, nerve or tendon transfer) within 6 months of the initial injury.
