Breakthrough Study Could Transform Treatment for Patients With Severe Limb Injuries
In the study, published on the front page of Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research in June 2025, Mount Sinai Health System’s Michael R. Hausman, MD; Paul J. Cagle Jr., MD; and Christoph A. Schroen, a doctoral student, identify a new classification for nerve injuries. Their findings challenge the traditional understanding of peripheral nerve injuries and could help surgeons assess which patients would benefit from surgery early on.
