Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Peripheral nerve injuries can result in loss of movement, sensation, or function in the affected limb or region. These injuries often occur due to trauma, compression, or surgical complications. Our expert care focuses on microsurgical nerve repair and reconstruction to help restore normal function and improve quality of life.
What Are Peripheral Nerves?
Peripheral nerves connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body — controlling movement and sensation in the arms, hands, legs, and face. Damage to these nerves can severely impact daily activities.
Causes of Peripheral Nerve Injuries:
- Trauma (accidents, cuts, fractures, crush injuries)
- Compression (carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome)
- Stretching injuries (brachial plexus injuries during childbirth or accidents)
- Tumor-related or post-surgical damage
Our Services Include:
Nerve Repair Direct suturing of nerve ends in clean injuries for optimal healing.
Nerve Grafting When a nerve gap is present, autografts or conduits are used to bridge the defect and restore continuity.
Neurolysis Surgical decompression of nerves trapped in scar tissue or tight anatomical spaces.
Brachial Plexus Surgery Advanced reconstruction for injuries affecting the shoulder, arm, or hand due to severe nerve trauma.
Tendon Transfers When nerve recovery is limited, tendons may be re-routed to restore movement in affected limbs.
