Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that results in loss of motor and sensory function, morbidity, and severe dependence. Neural regeneration, which refers to the regrowth or repair of nerve tissue or cells, holds promise as a therapeutic approach for SCI. This narrative review explores the current state of neural regeneration for SCI treatment, including endogenous neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, neuroremediation, and cell-based therapies.

Case Presentation: A 49 years old patient with a post-complete section of the radial nerve underwent intensive physical rehabilitation with two sessions of ultrasound-guided injections of 10 % glucose saline around the neuroma.
Sciatic nerve (SN) injuries after hip fracture dislocation are described and are not uncommon. Several factors can lead to SN injury after hip surgery; among other factors, screw plates of synthesis materials can immigrate and lead to nerve impingement. We report a case of a 22-year-old male with a history of posterior wall fracture and hip dislocation after a motorway accident.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 62-year-old female on acencoumarol for her atrial fibrillation complicating severe mitral stenosis with a history of Ketoprofen use for the onset of her first symptoms.
