This is a manual which aims to provide a biological approach to nerve injuries, concentrating on the upper extremity, to bridge the gap between neuroscientists and clinicians, and to stimulate improved methods of treatment. It describes the state-of-the-art, outling current understanding of the pathophysiology of nerve damange and stressing the implications of surgical management. Empahsis is given to areas such as neurotrophic factors and intraneural microcirculation and diffusion barriers.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Part 1 Cell-biological background: nerve growth; axonal orientation; axonal transport. Part 2 The nerve trunk: morphological basis; microvascular system; endoneurial fluid pressure (EFP). Part 3 Compression and stretching: biological effects of pressure; classification of nerve injuries; tourniquet paralysis; peripheral nerve excursions; stretching. Part 4 Nerve entrapment: background; carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS); high median, ulnar, and radial nerve compression; thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS); the "double crush syndrome" and "reversed double crush syndrome"; multi-entrapments. Part 5 Nerve regeneration: the nerve cell body and proximal segment; the distal segment; the interstump gap; the nerve chamber as an experimental tool. Part 6 Nerve repair - clinical aspects: definition of the problem; timing; techniques for nerve repair; the microsurgical approach - mechanics versus biology; epineurial versus perineurial suture techniques - an experimental approach; epineurial versus perineurial suture techniques - a clinical approach; factors influencing axonal growth.
