Impact of Microscope Versus Loupes on Sensation Disturbances After Digital Nerve Repair: A Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis

Key Points

• To compare sensation disturbances after digital nerve repair using loupes versus a microscope.
• Conducted a propensity score-matched analysis to compare outcomes between the two groups.
• Evaluated sensation disturbances following nerve repair surgeries.
• Analyzed data from individuals who underwent digital nerve repair using either loupes or a microscope.
• Outcomes for sensation disturbances were similar between the loupes and microscope groups.
• Both techniques were found to be effective for nerve repair resulting in comparable sensation recovery.
