AB LOCALIZED  PERIPHERAL  NERVE  (PN)  injuries  are  very  common  and  arise  from  a  wide  range  of  etiologies.  They  are  seen  in  healthy  individuals  and  also  may  arise  from  complications  from  other  disorders  or  traumatic  injuries.  PN  injuries  may  accompany  or  complicate  rehabilitation  management  of  other  disorders,  for  example,  nerve  compressions  due  to  use  of  assistive  devices  or  bracing,  or  overuse  injuries  in  less  impaired  extremities.  An  understanding  of  the  anatomic  course  and  innervation  of  peripheral  nerves  and  common  sites  of  entrapment  is  important  in  recognizing  and  diagnosing  these  injuries.  As  PN  injuries  can  accompany  other  musculoskeletal  disorders  and  trauma,  their  existence  can  sometimes  be  initially  masked.  Therefore,  it  is  important  to  recognize  high-risk  scenarios  for  nerve  injury  as  they  may  impede  expected  recovery  from  the  traumatic  injury.
