Background  Etiology of traumatic peripheral nerve injury (TPNI) include penetrating injury, crush, traction, ischemia, and less common mechanisms such as thermal, electric shock, radiation & blunt injury^[1]. Outcome of the nerve repair is essential as it directly affects the daily life of the patient.

Aims & Objective: A follow up study of the epidemiology of traumatic nerve injuries in forearm.

Methods The study was done in Department of Plastic Surgery at Christian Medical College, Ludhiana, Punjab & covered all the nerve injuries from elbow to finger tip. The duration of the study was from 1^st May 2011 to 30^th April 2017.  The study was one year prospective (1^st may 2016 to 30^th april 2017) & five year retrospective (1^st may 2011 to 30^th april 2016). All patients above 10 years of age having nerve injury of the forearm were included in the study.  Nerve repair where needed was done under microscope. Nerve grafting was attempted in case of nerve loss. Associated vessel, muscle, tendon & bone injury was treated as per routine.  

Statistical Analysis: Descriptive Analysis was done to express the continuous variables in terms of mean ± standard deviation, and categorical variables were presented as numbers and percentages. For all the analysis P value <0.05 was considered significant.
