biostudies-literatureUnknownEvertsson LDigital nerve injuries are common, but few studies report long-term effects for the individual. The primary aim of this matched-pairs study comparing digital nerve injuries in border digits or central fingers was to investigate hand function 3-10 years after digital nerve repair, assessed using the Mini Sollerman test in 86 patients. Secondary outcomes were sensory function, range of motion, grip strength and patient-reported measures. No significant difference was seen in hand function between the groups, except for lower grip strength in patients with central finger injury. Tactile discrimination was achieved in 87%, with best results among participants aged less than 44 years. Touch perception was measurable in 99%. No statistically significant differences in sensory function were foundThe Journal of hand surgery, European volume17531934241286116https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12012279biostudies-literatureLong-term subjective and objective outcomes after digital nerve repair: a cohort study.PMC12012279Turesson CBjorkman AArner MEvertsson LMellstrand Navarro CfalseLong-term subjective and objective outcomes after digital nerve repair: a cohort study.Digital nerve injuries are common, but few studies report long-term effects for the individual.
