Why carry out this study?
Many studies showed positive effects of steroid alone or when combined with other materials on nerve regeneration in animals.
One report showed a recovery of neglected neuropathy in a leprosy patient using steroids.
The aim of this article is to describe a successful and complete recovery of the ulnar nerve in a 33-year-old female who sustained a traumatic laceration injury.
What was learned from the study?
We believe that this is the first report of nerve recovery using local steroid injection after trauma that lead to chronic nerve dysfunction.
