title: Nerve suture without tension, a method for repairing transected peripheral nerves.
abstract: An analysis of primary epineural end to end sutures of transsected peripheral nerves, operated upon before 1970, showed good motor and sensory function in only 60%. With the new perineural suturing technique without tension and if necessary by using autologous nerves for bridging large nerve defects the good results raised to 87%.
