Co-authored by Julia K. Terzis, a foremost expert in functional reconstructive microsurgery, this book offers authoritative guidance on successful diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. The authors review essential concepts of nerve structure, function, injury, and repair and provide critical information on factors that can affect the healing characteristics of the repaired nerve. A section on diagnostic procedures describes nerve conduction velocity studies, electromyography, evoked potentials, imaging studies, intraoperative diagnosis, and histochemical, immunochemical, and radioassay studies. A review of surgical techniques includes guidelines for performing epineural and perineural repair, avoidance of tension, and nerve grafting, as well as a discussion on the advantages of vascularized nerve grafts. The book also offers expert advice on postoperative care and rehabilitation, using electrical stimulation and sensory and motor re-education to maximize functional recovery.
