The reasons for end-to-side coaptation: how does lateral axon sprouting work?

The reasons for end-to-side coaptation: how does lateral axon sprouting work?

Nerve fibers are attracted by sutureless end-to-side nerve coaptation into the recipient nerve. Opening a window in the epineurium enhances axon attraction and myelination. The authors analyze the features of nerve repair by end-to-side coaptation. They highlight the known mechanisms of axon sprouti...
