Techniques for nerve grafting
Abstract
The nerve graft can be completed using many different techniques. This article elaborates the general principles and many details that can be approached in different ways when dealing with nerve grafting. A review of the reasons for the poor performance of early nerve grafts, as well as the origins of nerve grafts, is included. This article discusses the technical aspects of nerve grafting including free nerve grafting and timing and exposure.
