Traumatic Upper Extremity Nerve Lesions in Children: High-Resolution Nerve Ultrasound Can Improve Surgical Outcome
Good functional recovery in pediatric patients with peripheral nerve injury was demonstrated. HRUS-guided treatment and age < 9 years were independent predictors of favorable outcome. These findings support HRUS as a valuable, noninvasive tool for guiding pediatric nerve injury management.
