Abstract: The reported outcome of repairs to ulnar nerves damaged by gunshot has varied in the literature, but there is a consensus that the duration of the interval to surgery, the repair level, and the graft length used influence the outcome of surgical repair for ulnar nerve lesions.

“…Functional improvement after peripheral nerve repairs is reported to be associated with the age of the patient, time period between injury and repair, level of injury (proximal or distal), injury mechanism (crush, avulsion, or clean cut), injured nerve (median, ulnar), type of reconstruction, and concomitant injuries. [5][6][7][8]10,16,32 In our model of multiple regression, the injured nerve was the most important independent determinant (43.2% of the variation) followed by the age, the level of the injury, and the concomitant injured tendons or vessels involved.…”

“…3 Numerous reports in the literature attempt to assess various factors that contribute to successful nerve healing. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] These factors can be described as intrinsic, or those beyond the control of the surgeon, and extrinsic, those in which clinical management may influence the final result.…”

“…Moreover, a shorter time of recovery could reduce the possibility that the target organ would atrophy because of denervation. Secer et al () found that a good outcome was noted in 15.06% of patients who underwent high‐level repair, 29.60% of patients who underwent intermediate‐level repair and 49.68% of patients who underwent low‐level repair. In addition, their study showed that the length of the interval before surgery, the repair level and the graft length used influenced the outcomes of surgical repair for ulnar nerve lesions, in agreement with our findings.…”
