Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Skeletal Deformities
The most common cause of nerve injury is trauma. In some cases of trauma, the clinician should suspect the possibility of nerve injury, especially when there is an obvious skeletal deformity due to the trauma. Examples of trauma that may lead to nerve injury include fractures and dislocations.
For some patients, nerve injury may be immediately apparent such as in the case of foot drop caused by injury to the common perineal nerve at the knee level.
