nerve repair for extremity surgeons

Extremity surgeons see a significant amount of nerve damage with a range of causes, including trauma and compression. Each patient presents a unique scenario depending on the mechanism of injury, timing of surgery and nerve injured (sensory, mixed-motor). You need a nerve repair partner with solutions for all of your needs.

traumatic digital nerve injury

You will likely treat a number of patients with a traumatic digital nerve injury. While the mechanism of injury varies, using a defined step-by-step technique and evidence-based algorithm may lead to efficiency improvements and more consistent outcomes.1,2
