Electrophysiological study after surgical repair of sectioned human peripheral nerves.
Clinical and electrophysiological assessment of recovery of function are reported on 20 patients with median or ulnar nerve sections up to 53 months after surgical repair. Maximum improvement of sensory function was apparent by both methods of assessment at 15 months after suture, and thereafter conduction velocities in sensory fibres averaged 80% of normal in median nerves and 70% of normal in...
متن کاملRegeneration of sutured human peripheral nerves: an electrophysiological study.
Electrophysiological and clinical assessment of recovery of function was undertaken on 34 median and 33 ulnar nerve which had been resutured after complete section three and a half months to 24 years previously. An evaluation of different methods of repair was attempted. Our results suggested that re-exploration of the site of suture is indicated in the absence of voluntary activity on needle E...
متن کاملIntroduction of a New Suture Method in Repair of Peripheral Nerves Injured with a Sharp Mechanism
Background: The standard method for repair of an injured peripheal nerve is epineural repair with separate sutures. Herein we describe a method in which the nerve is sutured with continous sutures. In fact this method has not been utilized for nerve repair previously and our purpose was to compare it to the standard method. If it proved to be successful it would replace the standard method in...

A second edition in three years is sufficient testimony to the value of this outstanding book which is an essential work of reference for all who have to deal with peripheral nerve injuries. The revision includes more modern methods of electrodiagnosis but o...
متن کاملAutomated morphometric study of human peripheral nerves by image analysis.
In this paper we describe a program using the image analyzer SAMBA, which allows an automatic analysis of silver stained semithin nerve sections. The operator can interactively delimit the contour of the fascicle to be analysed by means of a digitizing tablet connected to the system which generates a mask of the region. Segmentation of the fibre images is conducted as a function of brightness t...
