“…Since it is not generally agreed which type of evaluation tool is the most useful for evaluation of functional recovery; our research group like others has been using different methods for an overall assessment of nerve function, which has been widely recommended [53] . The sciatic nerve regeneration after neurotmesis studies described by the authors were followed during 20 wk after the surgical procedure based on the previous experimental work [17,29,54,55] . The morphological evaluation together with functional data has been used to assess neural regeneration after induced neurotmesis injuries, but some subjective evaluation, depending on the operator/research analysis is observed [9] .…”

“…Following axonotmesis, nerve regenerates relatively fast and functional recovery is usually achieved. 3,4 Nerve regeneration is usually successful after this type of injury and, after a short (1-2 days) latency to cross the injury site, axons regenerate at a steady rate along the distal nerve helped by the reactive Schwann cells and the preserved endoneurial tubules which enhance axonal elongation and facilitate adequate target reinnervation. 5 This type of injury is thus appropriate to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration and to assess the role of different factors in the regeneration process.…”
