In this issue of Hand Clinics, guest editors Drs. Sami Tuffaha and Kevin Chung bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Peripheral Nerve Reconstruction. Our understanding of peripheral nerve function, anatomy, and regeneration has advanced greatly, but methods of reconstruction have remained largely unchanged. In this issue, top experts cover the modern surgical techniques that are most effective in properly treating patients who suffer from peripheral nerve injuries.- Contains 13 relevant, practice-oriented topics including peripheral nerve anatomy for the nerve surgeon; physiology of nerve regeneration: key factors affecting clinical outcomes; advances in nerve imaging; PEG fusion: the holy grail?; evaluating outcomes following nerve repair: beyond the MRC; and more.- Provides in-depth clinical reviews on peripheral nerve reconstruction, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.- Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
