An Evaluation of Different Bridging Techniques for Short Nerve Gaps
Conclusions: Although the nerve autograft is the criterion standard for managing the nerve gaps, the vein conduit is a viable alternative to nerve autograft for bridging the nerve gaps 3 cm or less, whereas filled conduit needs more study. However, more patients need to be studied to complete a relevant statistical study.
