Abstract:
A case series of seven children and adolescents who underwent secondary nerve grafting of median or ulnar nerve is presented. The children were evaluated after a mean follow-up of 7 years, using the Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and the Rosen-Lundborg outcome scale. The mean DASH outcome was 14.6 and the mean Rosen-Lundborg score was 2.08. A similar study was conducted for comparison in an adult group, with a mean DASH score of 46.3 and Rosen-Lundborg score of 1.3, indicating superior treatment results in children. The treatment outcome after nerve grafting in children did not match, however, to those obtained in the primary suture group.
