Nerves are the body’s electrical wiring, carrying messages between the brain and the rest of the body. When a nerve is damaged, whether by a sharp cut, crushing injury, or stretching, it can disrupt your ability to move muscles or feel sensations. Peripheral Nerve Repair is a surgical procedure designed to reconnect damaged nerves, restoring the "circuitry" required for functional recovery. Because nerves heal slowly (typically at a rate of about one inch per month), early intervention is often the key to the best possible outcome.
