95 patients with 254 completely divided digital nerves were reviewed, on average, 12.4 (5–20) years after repair. There were 47 sharp and 48 blunt injuries. 45 injuries were at the level of the palm of the hand and 50 more distally. Secondary epineurial suture was used in 53, fascicular grafting in 37 and fascicular suture in five. Four sensory factors were assessed and evaluated quantitatively. Useful sensory function was recovered in 79.5% of the nerves operated on with epineurial or fascicular suture and in 56.3% with fascicular grafting.
