Does the addition of a nerve wrap to a motor nerve repair affect motor outcomes?

abstract：BACKGROUND:In a vessel-depleted neck, distant recipient sites may be the only option for secondary free flap reconstruction. While interposition vein grafts and arteriovenous loops can bridge the gap between the recipient and donor pedicle, they are not without risks. In these scenarios, we examinate the reliablity of ...
