Abstract
Although
peripheral nerve lesions are quite rare in sport injuries, they can be
a career ending cause and have a serious impact on the general quality
of life of the former sportsman. Therefore, it is imperative that nerve
lesions be diagnosed promptly, allowing early intervention prior to
irreversible loss of nerve function. That’s why sports
medicine physicians must have a deep knowledge of peripheral nerve
anatomy and physiology in order to diagnose the level of injury
accurately and provide appropriate treatment and prognostic information
to the patient.
