What are the causes of median nerve injury

summary

The nervous system is a very important central system in the human system, but it is inevitable that people will not have all kinds of injuries in their daily life. But what are the causes of some injuries? Let's take a look at the causes of median nerve injury.

What are the causes of median nerve injury

First: ischemic contracture: ischemic contracture is often combined with median nerve injury. Ischemic contracture, also known as chronic congestive ischemic contracture, is the ultimate destination of most cardiovascular diseases and the main cause of death. The incidence rate and mortality rate are not exact. According to the statistics of American contracture society in 1996, there are 4.9 million patients with ischemic contracture in the United States; 1% of adults aged 50-60 have ischemic contracture; and 10% of the elderly over 80 have ischemic contracture.

Second, crush injury is mainly caused by forearm fracture or scar contracture, often accompanied by severe and extensive soft tissue injury. The force of scar contracture is very strong. In the process of scar healing, the force of scar contracture is gradually increasing. Before the early wound healing, the movement and shape of the limb can be almost normal; once the wound is healed, the contracture force increases.

Third: the light is only skin and subcutaneous soft tissue contracture, severe can cause muscle, tendon, blood vessels, nerve shortening, and even bone and joint deformity, years of contracture, can cause limb distortion, snake shaped deformity, complete loss of work function. Compared with the above-mentioned injuries, there are fewer cases of gunshot injury or drug mistakenly injected into the nerve trunk.

matters needing attention

We are deeply troubled by the median nerve, so once the symptoms of median nerve and spasm, crush injury or gunshot injury appear, we must see a doctor in time, and cooperate with the medical staff to ensure the health of the body.
