TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Nerve injuries in children JO - Chirurgie de la Main A1 - Legré, R. A1 - Iniesta, A. A1 - Toméi, F. A1 - Gay, A. SP - S52 EP - S56 VL - 32 IS - Suppl 1 N2 - Management of peripheral nerve lesions in children does not differ fundamentally from that in adults. Nevertheless, difficulty to perform an extensive clinical examination can explain initial misdiagnosis and postoperative follow up can be tricky. The poor compliance of the children in the postoperative care makes a postoperative immobilization mandatory. If the peripheral nerve injuries involving children have a better prognosis reputation than in adults, fundamental studies results do not comfort this conventional wisdom, but rather claim for a better adaptability of the child to the relapses left by the peripheral nerves lesions.
