Abstract des Autors

Peripheral nerve injuries are common in active patients because many sports subject nerves to compression and traction. Patients generally present reporting weakness and paresthesia in the distribution of the damaged nerve. The most common injured nerves are the median and carpal tunnel, ulnar at the elbow, peroneal at the fibular head, long thoracic, and the suprascapular. Several of the less common nerve injuries can also be related to activity. The fact that nerve regrowth is slow often mandates patient, conservative treatment that consists of protection and activity modification. Verf.-Referat
