Hi peter.
sorry to hear of your injury.
apparently emgs can be indicative, bt are not definitive of the injury sustained.
i think the only way they can really tell is by exploratory surgery.
sorry if im wrong.
but this is what i have experienced
LBPI

peter,

sorry about ur injury.
ya, there no any confirmatory test, even after the advancement of technology. So, many nerve repaires are calculated and done at surgery.

But, be brave and be with positive attitude... I will u all the best.
