The use of a nerve decompression or neurectomy to treat nerve pain along the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is a firmly established surgical treatment. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] However, the more effective treatment between a decompression and neurectomy is still being researched.
The length and efficiency of recovery is depended on the regenerative process that may require 6 to 18 months. The length of the nerve and site of the injury influences the recovery time. To avoid tension during recovery (generally 10–14 days), minimizing movement of the nerve may reduce risk of further damage. [1]
The treatment of each peripheral nerve entrapment has its own history, making any single narrative incomplete. [49] The symptoms of nerve injury in the early 1900s were called nerve palsy (today neuropathy or neuritis are more common terms). [50] The concept of injuries causing nerve palsy was understood at that time. [49]
Surgery can be done in order to help the nerve heal. The surgery will help with nerve regeneration, providing guidance to the nerve sprouts on where to attach on the proximal side of the injury. Damaged nerve axons can reattach themselves after surgery. [3] Treatment of axonotmesis also consists of: Physical therapy or Occupational Therapy ...
Sometimes surgery is an option, although the prognosis is still very poor of regaining function of the affected nerve. [2] The goal of surgery is to join healthy nerve to unhealthy nerve. The most common surgical techniques include external neurolysis, end-to-end repair, nerve grafting, and nerve transfer from somewhere else in the body. [2]
Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR), less often referred to as selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR), is the most widely used form of rhizotomy, and is today a primary treatment for spastic diplegia, best done in the youngest years before bone and joint deformities from the pull of spasticity take place.
There are three main patterns of facial nerve compression. The type of injury also gives an idea about the prognosis. Neuropraxia: no wallerian degeneration and complete and rapid recovery of function. Axonotmesis: wallerian degeneration and necrosis of the distal segment (death of the part of the nerve after the compression). Recovery is not ...
The outcome of nerve repair is dependent on the degree of the nerve injury and the circumstances at the site of injury. [5] Since neurapraxia is the least serious form of peripheral nerve injury, recovery and treatment are not extensive. Once the cause of neurapraxia is eliminated, recovery of the lesions in the nerve occurs within a short time ...
