Description[edit | edit source]
There are three basic types of peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) commonly seen in the clinic[1].
The most common of the three is Stretch related- the peripheral nerves are elastic, but when a traction force is too strong injury occurs. If the Traction force is strong enough, a complete tear may occur, but most commonly the continuity is retained, resulting in injuries such as Erb's Palsy.
