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.
Another common type of PNI are lacerations created by blades. those types of injuries might be complete transections- but most commonly some continuity remains.
