Features: Peripheral nerve injury is a disease that can cause severe limb functional impairment, and it is very common both in peacetime and wartime. Over the past two decades, there have been significant advancements in the treatment methods and outcomes of peripheral nerve injuries. Clinical research and related basic research have become even more in-depth. To introduce these achievements to the public in a timely manner, we have organized a large number of experts in peripheral nerve surgery to compile this book. The purpose is to further popularize knowledge about peripheral nerves. This book introduces the latest developments in peripheral nerve research, with a clinical focus, and discusses anatomy, pathophysiology, electrophysiology, and other fundamental knowledge. The entire book contains over 1 million words and more than 300 illustrations. Most of the authors who participated in compiling this book are well-known experts and professors in the field of peripheral nerve surgery, having accumulated extensive clinical experience over decades of practice. This book also reflects their many years of experience. The book is divided into 20 chapters, providing a comprehensive introduction to the relevant content of peripheral nerve injuries. It details each nerve from anatomy, clinical manifestations, examinations, electrophysiological changes, diagnosis, treatment, anesthesia, treatment outcome evaluation, rehabilitation, and nursing. One chapter is dedicated to providing a detailed introduction to functional reconstruction for irreparable peripheral nerve injuries. To further highlight the novelty of this book, a chapter is also included to introduce the research progress and research methods in peripheral nerve studies. This book is an essential reference for orthopedic, microsurgery, and hand surgery professionals.
