The document discusses different types of nerve injuries - neurapraxia, axonotmesis, and neurotmesis. Neurapraxia involves intact axons and spontaneous recovery. Axonotmesis involves divided axons but intact connective tissue, resulting in Wallerian degeneration and slow regeneration. Neurotmesis is a complete nerve severing requiring surgical repair. The document also outlines approaches to surgical nerve repair, including direct suture and nerve grafting when a gap exists. Post-operation, the repair needs splinting and physiotherapy to aid recovery.
