Clinical and experimental studies of peripheral nerve injuries had been reported by many investigators.The authors summarized investigations of 218 patients (245 nerves) with peripheral nerve injuries for five years from 1963 to 1967 and studied about the cause of injuries and prognosis after conservative or surgical treatment.In the distribution of the age, the younger generation and manhood have a majority in the number.One hundred and fifteen cases of the injured nerve were found in the upper extremities, and especially the injuries of radial and ulnar nerve are conspicuous.The majority of the injuries has caused by the trauma. In these cases, oppresion, contusion fracture and sleep are remarkable.The authors concluded as following.1) We found that surgical treatment had to be performed for some cases of Bell's palsy.2) The value of the King's operation for the delayed ulnar palsy is remarkable.3) The diagnostic value of neurography after nerve suture was found.
