  1. Structures injured in addition to the median nerve injury, each of the participant represented in columns and sorted based on number of injured structures. ■ = completely transected structure, □ = partially transected structure, x denotes bilaterally missing tendon. Lower part of table shows scores from questionnaires regarding subjective symptoms after injury. Notably, there is no apparent correspondence between number of injured structures and the scores in the questionnaires. BR = Musculus brachioradialis, FCR = m. Flexor carpi radialis, PL = m. Palmaris longus, FCU = m. Flexor carpi ulnaris, FPL = m. Flexor pollicis longus, FDS = m. Flexor digitorum superficialis, FDP = m. Flexor digitorum profundus, 2–5 denotes digit specific tendons originating from these muscles, aU = Ulnar artery, aR = Radial artery. DASH = Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score, CISS = Cold Intolerance Symptom Severity score (questionnaire 2). Inj side = side of forearm of median nerve injury. Age at inj = age in years at time of injury and surgical repair. Time from inj = the time in years from injury to the time of the study.
