Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Incidence
The incidence of digital nerve injury as calculated as the numbers of treated patients divided by the population at risk
at study inclusion
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Demographic features of the patient cohort
at study inclusion
Health care interventions
through study completion, at an average 6 months
Study Arms (2)
Digital nerve injury, surgical treatment, isolated injury
Patient over the age of 18 with an isolated injury to a digital nerve.
Digital nerve injury, surgical treatment, concomittant flexor tendon injury
Patient over the age of 18 with an injury to a digital nerve and a concomittant flexor tendon injury.
Interventions
The digital nerves were sutured according to the discretion of the treating surgeon and the standard procedure was three epineural sutures 8.0 or 9.0 nylon under loop magnification. Concomitant tendon injuries were also sutured according to the discretion of the treating surgeon, most commonly with two loop sutures (four strand core) and a peritendinous PDS suture.
Eligibility Criteria
All patients treated with surgical repair of a operatively for a digital nerve injury at the Department of Hand Surgery at Södersjukhuset, Stockholm, Sweden between 2012-01-01 and 2018-12-31 were included.
You may qualify if:
- diagnostic codes (ICD-10) for a digital nerve injury in the thumb (S64.3) or finger (S64.4) in combination with the surgical code (KKÅ97) Nomesco classification of surgical procedures for nerve repair (ACB29).
You may not qualify if:
- concomitant skeletal injury
- amputations
- severe soft tissue injuries
- injury needed microvascular reconstruction.
- Patients reciding outside the Stockholm region and
