Current Gaps and Future Directions in Brachial Plexus, Upper-Extremity and Lower-Extremity Nerve Injuries (Nerve SPACE 2025)

Key Points

• Nerve injuries in the brachial plexus and limbs are often underdiagnosed and mismanaged, impacting recovery outcomes.
• Evidence suggests incomplete rehabilitation leads to persistent functional deficits in upper and lower extremities.
• Analysis of treatment protocols highlights the need for streamlined approaches in neuroregeneration efforts across multiple injury types.
• Improving standard care practices for nerve injuries may enhance patient outcomes; external validation is required.
