Abstract

Nerve injuries are the most common conditions with varying symptoms, depending on the severity, intensity and nerves
involved. Though much information is available on the mechanisms of injury and regeneration, reliable treatments that
ensure full functional recovery are limited. The type of nerve injury alters the treatment and prognosis. This review article
aims to summarize the various types of nerve injuries and their classification.
