This chapter includes the essentials of treatment of nerve injuries in the digits, palm, and wrist. Although many of the principles discussed here can be applied to injuries in the forearm and arm, more detailed discussions of more proximal nerve injuries can be found in Chapter 62 on peripheral nerve injuries. Nerve entrapments and compression neuropathies also are discussed in detail in Chapter 62. Reconstructive procedures including tendon transfers are discussed in Chapter 34, and an expansion of the discussion of microsurgical technique can be found in Chapter 63.
