Touch sensibility in the hand.
Touch sensibility must be evaluated in most of our patients, and must be re-evaluated in many of them following surgery. Touch sensibility must be tested in our disability evaluations and in order to prognosticate regarding hand function. Touch sensibility evaluation can provide a non-invasive guide to acute compartmental syndrome management. Touch sensibility must be re-educated following nerve repair.
