Treatment of peripheral nerve injuries remains a challenge to modern medicine due to the complexity of the neurobiological nerve regenerating process. There is a greater challenge when the transected nerve ends are not ...

Treatment of neuromas in the foot and ankle is evolving. There is a paucity of studies dealing with neuromas in this anatomic region and most knowledge comes from hand surgery. A trend toward reconstructive surgery using ...

Background: Nerve injuries are debilitating, leading to long-term motor deficits. Remyelination and axonal growth are supported and enhanced by growth factor and cytokines. Combination of nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) ...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the capacity of natural latex membrane to accelerate and improve the regeneration quality of the of rat sciatic nerves. METHODS: Forty male adult Wistar rats were used, anesthetized and operated to cut ...

Peripheral nerve injuries are very frequent in medical practice and although the use of autografts remains the standard procedure to repair thegap between the proximal and distal stumps, alternative techniques have been ...
