Delayed peripheral nerve repair: methods, including surgical ′cross-bridging′ to promote nerve regeneration

Despite the capacity of Schwann cells to support peripheral nerve regeneration, functional recovery after nerve injuries is frequently poor, especially for proximal injuries that require regenerating axons to grow over long distances to reinnervate distal targets. Nerve transfers, where small fascic...
