[Late results following treatment of peripheral nerve injuries of the upper extremity].
The authors re-examine cases of complete peripheral nerve injury of the upper extremity. Motor activity and sensibility assessment make use of Highet's scale. Some general principles of surgical treatment of peripheral nerve injuries are presented and individual factors which influence its results are worked out, e.g. moment of diagnosis, kind of nerve suture, moment of operation, age of patient, grade of injury, concomitant injuries, and length of graft. Conclusions are drawn for the concept of treatment.
