Nerves are delicate and can be damaged by stress, extending, or reducing. Pressure or extending accidents can cause the materials holding the information to break and stop the sensors from working, without interfering with the insulating material protect.
Types
Two types are described:
- Primary: Here the nerve is injured by the same trauma that resulted in the injury to bone and joint.
- Secondary: This is due to involvement of the nerve in infection, scar, callus, etc.
Radial nerve is the most commonly injured peripheral nerve (45%), followed by ulnar nerve (30%), median nerve (15%), peroneal nerve, lumbosacral plexus (3%) and tibial nerve.
Mechanism of Injury
The nerve may be damaged by the fracture fragments, entrapment between the fragments during fracture reduction, direct injury by the bullets,sharp cutting weapons, etc. In the late stages, the nerve may be trapped in the callus or fibrous tissue.
Types of Nerve Injury
This may be neuropraxia, axonotemesis or neurotemesis depending upon the severity of injury.
- Crush Syndrome
- Joint Stiffness
- Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
- Osteomyelitis
- Implant Failure
- Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis
- Growth Alterations
- Shortening
