It is performed less frequently in childhood than in adulthood. This is because peripheral nerve injuries and tumors are less common in children than in adults and are more difficult to diagnose. In addition, we have little data on long-term sensorimotor and functional outcomes following surgical nerve repair in children. However, the higher neural plasticity in children causes better functional improvement than in adults. The better clinical outcomes in children probably indicate that the immature nervous system can adapt better and more easily to nerve damage.
