Peripheral nerve injuries are common and present a therapeutic challenge in hand surgery due to the wide variability in approach and outcome. This course will aim to discuss the pre-operative evaluation, surgical management, and rehabilitation of acute and chronic peripheral nerve injuries through a series of lectures by experts in the field of nerve surgery. Didactic lectures, case-based discussions, and Q&A panel formats will be utilized to enhance the learning experience by providing practical, usable information that can be easily incorporated into practice.
