Distal Nerve Transfer: Perspective of Reconstructive Microsurgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND: Injury or compression of a sensory nerve is an under-reported source of disabling pain in the lower limb. It is known that peripheral nerve microsurgeons can reconstruct and rewire injured nerves to relieve chronic pain but this option remains not completely understood and ignored by most orthopaedic surgeo...

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,...
