Effect of delayed peripheral nerve repair on nerve regeneration, Schwann cell function and target muscle recovery.
Despite advances in surgical techniques for peripheral nerve repair, functional restitution remains incomplete. The timing of surgery is one factor influencing the extent of recovery but it is not yet clearly defined how long a delay may be tolerated before repair becomes futile. In this study, rats...
