Nerve Repair and Grafting in the Upper Extremity
The diagnosis and treatment of injury to the peripheral nervous system is one of the greatest challenges in orthopaedic surgery.

Therefore, this chapter outlines the biology of nerve injury and growth and provides detailed treatment options and techniques.
