## Abstract The rat sciatic nerve serves as a good model of nerve regeneration and, as such, is often used in investigations of nerve repair. After transection of the sciatic nerve, rodents frequently scratch and bite their anesthetic foot, resulting in amputation of one or more toes. This is terme

โฆ Synopsis
Brown et al.)
, we wish to inform the readers that due to the difference in print magnification of the published versions of the figures for the rat walking tracks, the readers should multiply their measured sciatic function index by a factor of 0.92 should they wish to compare their SH with those in Table 1 of the paper.
CORRECTION
In Microsurgery, Volume 10, Number 2, 1989, page 126, the authors regret that the name of George M. Strain, Ph.D. was inadvertently omitted from the list of authors on the manuscript entitled ''Comparison of Sciatic Nerve Regeneration Through Silicone Tubes and Nerve Allografts".

In order to confirm the reliability of the sciatic functional index (SFI) in the rat, SFI, muscle strength, electrophysiological, and morphometric assessments were carried out from the 10th day to the sixth month after nerve injury or repair. The morphology (r = 0.925-0.996, P < 0.01 or P < 0.001).
In a recent paper, "A comparison of nerve grafting and tissue expansion techniques in the rat" (Microsurgery 15: 439-442, 1994), GD Hall et al. report that about half of normal function was recovered after grafting of the sciatic nerve in the rat. This result, which corresponds to M2-M3 and S2-S3 in
