Peripheral nerve injuries comprise an important group of sports-related traumatic injuries. Their early recognition and determination of correct treatment can be crucial in terms of the athlete's further professional career. They are often mistaken for orthopaedic and vascular traumatic events, which results in prolonged recovery. Our paper introduces the most common forms of sports-related peripheral nerve injuries and describes the mechanism of origin, association with particular sports, and clinical presentation.

Keywords: peripheral nerve, trauma, sport activity
