Histological studies of vascularised nerve graft versus conventional nerve graft were performed in eighteen rat femoral nerves using microsurgical technique. This experiment showed that there was no difference in the degree of vascularisation, reticulin framework collapse, rate and extent of axonal regeneration and remyelination between the two groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
