  • Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Neurotmesis

Neurotmesis is a complete transection of a peripheral nerve. The severity of peripheral nerve injury can be classified as neurapraxia, axonotmesis, or neurotmesis. Neurotmesis will produce complete sensory and motor deficits to the skin and muscles innervated by the injured nerve. Spontaneous recovery of function is extremely suboptimal without surgical intervention. This activity reviews the evaluation, treatment, and management of neurotmesis, and explains the role of the interprofessional team in the care of patients with this condition.
