[Results of the primary repair of 28 isolated median nerve injuries in the wrist].
Based on the study of a homogeneous series of twenty-eight isolated median nerve injuries at the wrist, sutured as an emergency procedure, the authors determined the course and sequelae of this type of nerve lesion with no associated tendon involvement. Repair was associated with epi-perineural suture performed with an operating microscope, immobilisation in slight flexion of the wrist for three weeks and rehabilitation of sensation. 60.7% of patients obtained a good or very good results with better motor recovery than sensory recovery. Nerve contusion, loss of nerve substance with suture under tension and work accidents were factors of poor prognosis.
