The most of neurologists deal with the peripheral nerve injury of the upper limbs (especially closed) in everyday practice. EMG
examination remains a gold standard for more accurate determination of the level of injury, importance of imaging methods also
has been increased. The decision whether conservative or surgical treatment should be indicated depends on the mechanism and
level of injury, results and dynamics of EMG results. No reliable procedure has been found to accelerate the axonal regeneration
of the peripheral nerve.

Keywords: peripheral nerve injury, upper limb, electromyography (EMG).
