Regeneration along intact nerves using nerve growth factor and ciliary neurotrophic factor.

abstract：:The free extended lateral arm flap (ELAF) has gained increasing popularity thank to its slimness and versatility, longer neurovascular pedicle, and greater flap size when compared with the original flap design. The aim of this study was to assess the donor-site morbidity associated with this extended procedure. A retr...
