Long-term follow-up of three different nerve repair strategies (repair, autografting and allografting) in one-stage replantation to treat upper extremity amputation
Abstract:Objective To examine the efficacy of three different nerve repair methods for one-stage replantation to treat complete upper extremity amputation and long-term postoperative functional recovery.
Methods Twenty-five patients underwent direct nerve anastomosis (Group A), for patients with nerve defects greater than 3 cm, nerve autograft transplantation be used (Group B), or patients with nerve defects less than 3 cm, nerve allograft transplantation be used (Group C) based on the severity of injury… Show more
