Our series includes 102 children with peripheral nerve injuries of various causes. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Intramuscular injections were the most common cause (52.9%), followed by entrapment (15.6%). The most common nerve involved was the sciatic nerve (54.9%), followed by the common peroneal nerve (13.7%), the ulnar nerve (10.8%), and the radial nerve (10.8%). Perineural adhesion was the most common intraoperative finding (74.5%), followed by a neuroma in continuity (14.7%) and gap (10.8%). Most of the children with peripheral adhesion underwent external and internal neurolysis (75.5%). Follow-up was available for 67 children. The median follow-up period was 7 months (range 3-36). The outcome was assessed according to MRC grading. Favorable functional improvement was noted in 76.1% of the children. Age less than 10 years (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; = 0. 06), injury before 6 months (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; = 0.03), and MRC motor grade (&lt;3) (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; = 0. 01) were positive predictive factors related to the final outcome. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Early surgical intervention, age less than 10 years, and incomplete motor palsy were the best predictors of a superior functional outcome. This study can serve as a guide to determine the epidemiology, duration of intervention, and surgical outcome of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries in the pediatric population<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000484174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,22]],"date-time":"2017-11-22T22:01:21Z","timestamp":1511388081000},"page":"94-99","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Predictors of Surgical Outcomes of Traumatic Peripheral Nerve Injuries in Children: An Institutional Experience"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Bhagavatula Indira","family":"Devi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Subhas K.","family":"Konar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dhananjaya I.","family":"Bhat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7613-1929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dhaval P.","family":"Shukla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Bharath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.S.","family":"Gopalakrishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,23]]},"container-title":["Pediatric Neurosurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/484174","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/484174","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:08:39Z","timestamp":1745428119000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000484174"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,23]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,8]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,15]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000484174","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1016-2291","1423-0305"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1016-2291","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0305","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,23]]}}}
