[Surgical treatment of inveterate injuries of peripheral nerves of the forearm and hand].

In the article is described the method of application of the wrapping epineural suture, proposed by the authors. There are demonstrated the advantages of the given suture in relation to the ordinary epineural one in comparative aspect. Moreover, there is proposed the method of autoneuroplasty at injuries of the median and ulnar nerves with regard to the direction of transplants in the "cable". 18 patients have been operated on according to the proposed method of autoneuroplasty . The positive effect has been detected when studying the remote results. The operated nerve function restores much quicker due to the application of the local hyperthermia of a limb beginning from the 6th post-operative day during 2-3 months. The comparative evaluation of the results of treatment demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed methods.
