Abstract
The outcome of 38 median and ulnar nerve injuries at the wrist in 15 adults and 15 children were studied with a follow-up of at least 1 year. Each pat ient was assessed clinically and with nerve conduction studies. The results confirm a markedly superior sensory recovery in children. However the chil dren had persistent motor deficiencies. This difference in the clinical res ults of adults and children was not reflected in the nerve conduction resul ts which were similar in both groups.
