Nerve lesions cause functional impotence to the innervated segment (hand, foot). They are the result of household accidents, work, roadand may be associated with injuries of other anatomical structures (muscles, tendons, vessels). The repair of nerve damage is absolutely necessary and should be performed in the shortest time as determine if the upper limb such as the inability to use the hand in daily activities.

At length, nerve trunks penetrate some areas whith inextensibil character caused by repeted traumatizm which can determine traumatic scar fibrosis, a nerve compression syndrome.
