Abstract:Background:
Histomorphometric studies of unmyelinated fibers of the rat fibular nerves are uncommon, and side-to-end neurorrhaphy studies using the fibular nerve investigate primarily motor fibers. We investigated side-to-end tubulization (SET) technique, in which occurs collateral sprouting from the intact donor nerve fibers to the distal stump of receptor nerve, with muscle reinnervation and functional rehabilitation, to assess whether there is a successful growth of unmyelinated fibers in this … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
