McArthur, Page 247Explanation:TYPES OF NERVE INJURYNeuropraxia:Physiological block of nerve conduction within an axon without any anatomical interruption.Example: Brachial plexus injury at birth which recovers spontaneously by 4-6 weeks.Axonemetesis:Anatomical interruption of the axon with no interruption of the connective tissue framework.Needs time for regrowth of axon to the target muscle.Scar formation will prevent regrowth.Takes many months to recover.Neurotmesis:Complete anatomical disruption of the axon and surrounding connective tissue.Complete nerve rupture.No chance of spontaneous recovery.Needs early surgical intervention.
