Abstract

Numerous factors, including loss of nerve substance, delay inoperative repair, and severe concomitant injuries, may preclude earlyprimary repair. In these instances, autogenous nerve grafting has been aneffective means of repair and reconstruction in overcoming the neural gap.Harvesting a donor nerve graft, however, can have significantmorbidity and consequence, as it can be associated with scarring at the donorsite, neuroma formation, and loss of donor site function. As such, it remainsa challenge to develop alternative methods towards managing peripheralnerve injuries which are not amenable to the “gold standard” primarytensionless epineural repair .
