Occasions for multiple flaps in lower-limb reconstructions: once is sometimes not enough.

abstract：:The rat model is commonly utilized in peripheral nerve research. Due to the short length of the rat limb and the animal's inherent neuroregenerative capacity, the timing of assessment of nerve regeneration is critical, and significant differences between groups can be lost if assessment is done too late. Additionally,...
