ABSTRACT
Direct repair and nerve autografting are primary options in the treatment of upper extremity peripheral nerve injuries. Deciding between these surgical options depends on the mechanism of injury, time since injury, and length of repair defect. Principles of direct repair and nerve autografting are reviewed. Finally, a literature-based review of the outcomes of upper extremity peripheral nerve repair and autografting is provided. Taken together, this article provides relevant and recent data for surgeons regarding patient selection, technique selection, surgical technique, surgical outcomes, and prognostic factors that will aid surgeons treating patients with upper extremity peripheral nerve injuries.
