[Early results of microsurgical suture of the median and ulnar nerves in the forearm].
The author discusses the early results of primary and delayed microsurgical sutures of the median (31) and ulnar (32) nerves in injuries (incised wounds) to the forearm in the middle and lower third. The results of the operation were appraised in follow-up periods of 2 to 4 years in 19 patients (23 nerves). ⋯ Skin sensitivity in the autonomous nerve zones was estimated as 4 marks and more in all cases. Two-point discrimination at a distance of less than 15 mm was restored after suture application in 13 of 23 nerves.
