Nerve Reconstruction Using Processed Nerve Allograft in the U.S. Military.

CONCLUSIONS: The military population had complex injuries with large nerve gaps. Despite the low rate of meaningful recovery (27.3%), large gaps in motor and mixed motor/sensory nerves are difficult to treat, and further research is needed to determine if autograft would achieve superior results. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, Level III. PMID: 33449099 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
