“…However, if damage to the nerve is severe, interventions may include more invasive techniques such as interpositional nerve grafts or end-end repairs. Interpositional grafts have been noted to result in less regenerative potential with increasing graft lengths [2,9]; therefore, end-end repairs are the preferred surgical technique [10]. Unfortunately, end-end repairs are limited by the size and length of damaged nerve tissue.…”

Both formaldehyde-and salt-perfused cadavers have a significant difference in nerve length obtained after neurolysis at each angle of measurement. This is seen for both dissection groups with p-values <0.05. Conclusions In this study, we found a direct statistically significant relationship between extent of neurolysis and increased angle of measurement, to amount of addition nerve length obtained in both neurolysis groups despite fixation type.
