Abstract
We report the results of examination of patients before primary and se condary unilateral digital nerve repair. Two-point discrimination was uniformly recorded. The results show that significant overlap of adjac ent digital nerves is common and this has important implications for i nterpretation of results after repair. Recommendations are made regard ing the evaluation of outcome following surgery.
