title: [Results of the primary repair of the collateral palmar digital nerves].
abstract: The aim of this study was to analyse the results of primary collateral digital nerve repair as a function of several factors: age, surgeon's experience, type of lesion and associated lesions, etc. The conclusions are based on a homogeneous series of 64 patients with 83 nerve lesions treated by primary microsurgical nerve repair with a follow-up of at least one year.
