Abstract

Median nerve regeneration was studied in 30 adult primates after repair by microsurgical suture or tubulization with a nonwoven, bioabsorbable, polyglycolic acid device. The two methods were compared electrophysiologically and histologically 6 and 12 months after repair. The electrophysiology includ...
