However, when the gap they must regenerate across is too wide, a graft is needed to guide the neuron and to prevent the formation of a neuroma [3]. Regeneration is most successful when the severed axons are able to successfully grow through the remnants of the site where the original connection was. In order to help aid in the regrowth of longer gaps a technique called "nerve grafting" is used [4]. Without such grafts, these injuries may never fully heal, and can be permanently debilitating. With the use of these... Thu, 19 Dec 2013 04:49 EST http://www.inquiriesjournal.com/articles/840/alternative-methods-to-autologous-nerve-grafting-for-the-regeneration-of-the-peripheral-nervous-system
