Since its introduction in the late 1879's, surgical restoration of function following peripheral
nerve injury has made significant progress (Naff and Ecklund, 2001). The development of …

In spite of an enormous amount of new experimental laboratory data based on evolving
neuroscientific concepts during the last 25 years peripheral nerve injuries still belong to the …

The degree of functional recovery which is achieved after repair of traumatic injury to a
peripheral nerve in humans, except in situations where a nerve is compressed but left …

Peripheral nerve injuries are frequently encountered in clinical practice and often result in
functional disability. In the past, due to poor understanding of pathophysiology, the results of …

We present 7 children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy treated by transferring two motor
fascicles out of the ulnar nerve to the biceps nerve. Three were male, and 4 were female …

Although the future of nerve surgery holds exciting possibilities, the current reality is that the
results of nerve repair have not significantly improved over the past several decades. The …

The end‐to‐side nerve‐repair technique, ie, when the distal end of an injured nerve is
attached end‐to‐side to an intact nerve trunk in an attempt to attract nerve fibers by collateral …

In recent times, surgical treatment of brachial plexus injuries no longer needs to be justified
and is, in fact, recommended. The primary aim of surgery in supraclavicular brachial plexus …

The phenomenon of lateral sprouting of axons into an end-to-side sutured recipient nerve is
well documented. The exact nature, however, still needs further investigation. Since 1996 …

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential for stimulating axonal regeneration in
the context of end-to-side coaptation using a combination of nerve growth factor and ciliary …
