Interfascicular nerve repair. 1981

J E Kutz, and G Shealy, and L Lubbers

The technique of nerve repair that results in the greatest percentage of regeneration of axons into their original end organs will result in the greatest functional return and the best result. Of prime importance is the motor-to-motor and sensory-to-sensory axonal orientation. Anatomic and physiologic data, as well as technical expertise, must be utilized for precise nerve approximation. To this end, fascicular repair under high-power magnification is an attempt to achieve the best alignment and coaptation of the neural elements.
