Functional recovery of denervated skeletal muscle with sensory or mixed nerve protection: a pilot study.

Functional recovery is usually poor following peripheral nerve injury when reinnervation is delayed. Early innervation by sensory nerve has been indicated to prevent atrophy of the denervated muscle. It is hypothesized that early protection with sensory axons is adequate to improve functional recove...
