Repair of mixed peripheral nerves using muscle autografts: a preliminary communication
1Blond-McIndoe Medical Research Centre, Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, UK.
Abstract:
Twelve patients were reviewed following the reconstruction of mixed motor/sensory nerves using freeze-thawed skeletal muscle autografts. A total of 13 nerves were reconstructed-6 median and 7 ulnar. All the repairs were secondary procedures, with a mean time from injury to grafting of 17 months. Sensory and motor evaluation was carried out and the patients asked to complete a pain questionnaire. Five patients achieved an S3+ level of sensory recovery. Two underwent revision of their muscle grafts to nerve grafts. Motor recovery was universally poor.

Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...
