The Correct Answer is (D)
The following factors dictate recovery following a nerve repair
♦ Age- Better prognosis in younger age groups
♦ Tension at the suture line- Better prognosis with low tension
♦ Time since injury- After 18 months only sensory functions can be expected
♦ Location of injury- Better prognosis with distal injuries
♦ Type of Nerve- A primary motor nerve like radial nerve has a better prognosis than a mixed nerve
♦ Condition of the nerve ends- The more the crushing and infection, the poorer the prognosis
♦ Associated conditions- Infection, ischaemia etc indicate poor prognosis
