Methods: Surgical treatments on sciatic nerve injury were perfo rmed in 28 patients from January 1990 to July 2000. The treatments included neur olysis, neurolysis plus partial nerve anastomosis, nerve anastomosis and nerve t ransplantation. The curative effect was evaluated according to Sunderland criter ia. Results: Of 28 cases, 22 patients were followed up with a follo w up period of 13 months to 5 years (average 30 months). Of 22 nerves, 7 were e xcellent, 5 good, 7 fair and 3 poor, with an excellence rate of 54.5 %. Conclusions: The fair results of sciatic nerve injury are relat ed to its structural character. Surgical exploration should be performed if nerv e function does not recover 3 months after primary operation and if Tinels sig n and electromyogram show no signs of nerve regeneration. Electrophysiological m onitoring in the operation is useful in electing surgical methods and predicting the results of nerve anastomosis.展开更多
