Figure Legend:
1a, 1b: forearm laceration with complete ulnar artery and partial ulnar
nerve laceration.
Partial forearm posterior interosseous nerve laceration with primary
fascicular repair.
3: Local crush injury of proximal median nerve with central disruption,
epineurium intact; excellent recovery after primary debridement and
epineural repair. Exploration of digital (4) and median (5) neuromas
late after partial injuries.
When partial nerve function remains, resection and grafting is an
unpredictable solution, and primary repair is preferable for partial
nerve injuries.
