“…This study results are similar to the studies done by Kouyoumdjian (8) as well as Saadat and colleagues (21), which reported that most of the PNIs are single rather than multiple nerve injuries and combined lesions most commonly involved the ulnar and median nerves. Previous reports have also reported the ulnar nerve as the main injured nerve followed by median nerve injury and the lower involvement of radial nerve (7,8).…”

“…PNI at the forearm level can result in substantial functional loss and have major social consequences (22). Superficial location of the nerves in the forearm, wrist, and hand as well as their exposure in daily work with sharp cutting objects could be a reason for higher rate of PNI in these regions (21).…”

“…Almost 95% of all deaths and lost lives are caused by violence occurring in the least developed and developing countries 10 . In South Africa, for instance, injuries are the second leading cause of death and lost disability-adjusted life years and almost 50% of the mortality due to trauma is because of interpersonal violence 11 . Injury is now the fifth leading cause of death in the republic of China and at least 800,000 deaths from injuries and 50 million non-fatal injuries occur each year.…”
