Brief Summary
Case control study, investigating what hand function and sensory function do patients perform 3-10 years following digital nerve injury and repair. The aim is to investigate if hand function is more limited following digital nerve injury in the thumb, index- and little finger, compared to less unburdened sensory surfaces in the fingers. Secondary aim is to investigate the long term sensory function following digital nerve injury.

Case
Injury to digital nerve: thumb, digit II radial side, digit V ulnar side

Interventions
All patients (cases and controls) were subject to surgical repair of digital nerve injury.
Eligibility Criteria
Participants with digital nerve injury were identified from a registry cohort consisting in 1330 patients. They were all treated due to a digital nerve injury at our hospital 2012 - 2018. A random sample of cases and controls were selected, matched for time from injury to evaluation, age and sex.
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).
- treatment completed in Södersjukhuset hospital 2012 - 2018
You may not qualify if:
- concomitant skeletal injury,
- amputations
- severe soft tissue injuries
- microvascular reconstruction
- residence outside the Stockholm region
- patient age below 18 years of age
