    Summary

    Vascularised nerve grafts offer superior sensory recovery compared to non-vascularised grafts for thumb digital nerve reconstruction. This case study highlights the benefits of vascularised nerve grafts in improving sensation after injury.

    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive surgery
    • Peripheral nerve repair
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • Digital nerve injuries in the thumb can lead to significant sensory deficits.
    • Nerve grafting is a common reconstructive technique for peripheral nerve gaps.
    • The role of vascularisation in nerve graft outcomes requires further investigation.
