Neuropraxia
Axonotmesis
Neurotmesis

Neuropraxia : Pressure on a nerve root that leads to primarily motor loss with little sensory or autonomic involvement. Interruption in physiologic function without significant anatomic damage. No deterioration within the nerve. Grade 1 , Mild 2-3 min

Axonotmesis - Grade II. Degeneration within an intact neurolemnal sheath. Persisting motor loss that last longer than 2 weeks. Normal EMG 18-21 days – persisting abnormality up to 1 year

Neurotmesis - Grade III. A lesion in a peripheral nerve that leads to complete paralysis of the muscles supplied by that nerve. Disruption of the neurolemnal sheaths of all or part of the nerve, usually more than 60%. Recovery ranges from 0-30%, rarely more.
