摘要
We report the results of examination of patients before primary and secondary unilateral digital nerve repair. Two-point discrimination was uniformly recorded. The results show that significant overlap of adjacent digital nerves is common and this has important implications for interpretation of results after repair. Recommendations are made regarding the evaluation of outcome following surgery.
