Trigeminal sensory recovery using processed nerve allografts for large continuity defects
The processed nerve allograft, Avance (AxoGen, Alachua, FL), has become a popular alternative to an autograft for the repair of nerve injuries, including the trigeminal nerve. Clinical outcome data on their safety and effectiveness in restoring sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is needed. Sensory assessments of trigeminal nerve injuries were conducted at pre-surgical, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgical reconstruction with Avance® Nerve Graft. Subjects with at least 6 months of follow-up were included in this analysis. Assessments included brush stroke directional sensation (BSDS), static 2-point discrimination (s2PD...
