Abstract

Sport-related peripheral nerve injuries (SRNIs) can occur in virtually any sport whether or not enjoyed by an amateur or in the career of a professional athlete. The diagnosis of SRNIs can be difficult, especially when trying to differentiate nerve injury from musculoskeletal pain. Clinicians should be able to recognize when a significant SRNI occurs and how to initiate a diagnostic and treatment pathway and referral to a specialist. This article reviews SRNIs and their specific sports, how to diagnose SRNIs, and how to select conservative or surgical management of these injuries.
