Standard treatment for a neuroma-in-continuity with partial retained function is neurolysis with or without grafting. The present study tests the outcome of a novel partial nerve lesion bypassed with an end-to-side bridge graft, intended to increase the number of axons crossing the defect while not

Taking into account that Schwann-cell (SC) motility is a prerequisite for myelination during peripheral nerve regeneration, the present study was designed with the intention to increase SC motility in vitro and to evaluate the effect of transduced SC on nerve regeneration in vivo, through silicone t
## Abstract This experimental study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of end‐to‐side coaptation between the musculocutaneous nerve and the phrenic nerve for brachial plexus injuries with nerve‐root avulsions. In an experimental rabbit model, neurotization of the musculocutaneous nerve with the
## Abstract End‐to‐side neurorrhaphy is an alternative method in the situation where the proximal part of the nerve cannot be found. When the intact nerve is not close enough to perform end‐to‐side neurorrhaphy, it will be necessary to use a graft for transporting the regenerating axons. In this st
## Abstract Our study used a rat animal model to verify that Schwann cell migration, collateral axonal sprouting, and regeneration were not hindered by interposition of a 10‐mm vein segment between the distal stump of the transected ulnar nerve and the donor median nerve in end‐to‐side reconstructi
## Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of reinnervation using end‐to‐side neurorrhaphy in the upper extremity of the rabbit. The cut right ulnar nerve was repaired and sutured to the side of the median nerve about 3 cm above the elbow joint. The extent of reinnervation wa
