ABSTRACT

The use of nerve conduits has evolved from a previous experimental idea to a clinical reality over the last ten years. An overview of the literature on the clinical use of nerve conduits in peripheral-nerve repair is presented.

KEYWORD

Nerve conduit - nerve guide - peripheral-nerve repair - clinical
