Summary
The provider repairs a nerve after circumstances or medical necessity delay initial repair of the nerve. A secondary or delayed repair may be intentional because of the patient’s condition, because of a contaminated or infected wound, or in the case of a severe traction or crushing injury. Such a repair may also occur as a result of a delayed presentation of the injury or a prolonged interval between the injury and the patient seeking care. The procedure restores sensory and/or motor functions when the nerves become damaged or severed usually as a result of injury or trauma.
