Abstract

One of the most difficult problems confronting the orthopedic surgeon today is what to do when faced with a large defect in a peripheral nerve. Recent advances in engineering and neurophysiology have improved our technical ability to understand the consequences of severing a nerve. We have treated a large traumatic ulnar nerve defect with microsurgical nerve graft technique. In a follow-up study of twehre monthes post surgery, the results were satisfactory.
