Sensory Nerve Recovery Grading Modified by Mackinnon and Dellon
| Grade | Group I | Group II | |
|---|---|---|---|
| S0: | Absence of sensibility in the autonomous zone of the nerve | ||
| S1: | Recovery of deep cutaneous pain sensibility within the autonomous zone of the nerve | ||
| S2: | Partial recovery of superficial pain and tactile sensibility within the autonomous area of the nerve | n=1 | n=3 |
| S3: | Recovery of superficial cutaneous pain and tactile sensibility throughout the autonomous area without hyperalgesia. S2PD >15 mm, M2PD >7 mm | n=3 | n=3 |
| S3+: | Recover to S3 level, and some recovery of two point’s discrimination. S2PD: 7–15 mm, M2PD: 4–7 mm | n=3 | n=4 |
| S4: | Complete recovery. S2PD: 2–6 mm, M2PD: 2–3 mm | n=4 | n=1 |
Abbreviations: M2PD, moving two-point discrimination; S2PD, static two-point discrimination.
