A Multicenter Prospective Randomized Comparison of Conduits Versus Decellularized Nerve Allograft for Digital Nerve Repairs

While there are advantages and disadvantages to both processed nerve allografts (PNA) and conduits, a large, well-controlled prospective study is needed to compare the efficacy and to delineate how each of these repair tools can be best applied to digital nerve injuries. We hypothesized that PNA digital nerve repairs would achieve superior functional recovery for longer length gaps compared with conduit-based repairs.
