title: The role of magnetic resonance neurography in the postoperative management of peripheral nerve injuries.
abstract: Diagnostic limitations exist in the assessment of postoperative nerve regeneration. This article describes the role of available methods, such as clinical assessment, electrophysiologic studies, and magnetic resonance neurography in the postoperative evaluation of peripheral nerve repairs.
