Background:

  • Nerve injuries pose significant challenges in reconstructive surgery.
  • Effective nerve repair strategies are crucial for restoring function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of nerve grafting.
  • To discuss alternative nerve reconstruction techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of nerve grafting.
  • Analysis of indications, techniques, and results.
  • Discussion of alternative methods: vascularized nerve grafts, tubulization, nerve elongation, and direct muscle neurotization.

Main Results:

  • Nerve grafting remains a primary method for nerve repair.
  • Alternative techniques offer potential solutions for complex nerve defects.
