Nerve Lacerations

A nerve laceration is a serious injury that occurs when a nerve is cut or torn. Nerves are responsible for carrying messages from the brain to the rest of the body, so a nerve laceration can cause a variety of problems, including pain, numbness, and weakness. The treatment for a nerve laceration will depend on the severity of the injury. In some cases, the nerve may be able to be repaired. In other cases, the nerve may need to be reconstructed or replaced. The goal of treatment is to restore as much function as possible.
