Remote results of the treatment of 68 patients with an associated trauma of the forearm were studied. Complete recovery of the hand functioning was noted in 63,2% of the patients. In 22% of the patients with severe associated traumas the extremity function was considerably worse despite the reestablished blood circulation. Repeated operations on the nerve were indicated to 5,8% of the patients.
