- first degree injury
- transient ischemia
- neurapraxia
- reversible stuff
- second degree
- corresponds to Seddon’s axonotmesis
- axonal degen takes place
- endoneurium is preserved so regeneration can lead to near complete recovery without intervention
- third degree
- worse than axonotmesis
- endoneurium disrupted but perineural sheaths intact, internal damage limited
- chances of axons reaching targets are good but fibrosis and crossed connections will limit recovery
