title: [A case of greater auricular nerve autologous nerve grafting for inferior alveolar nerve injury by mandibular fracture].
abstract: The results of peripheral nerve repair have been greatly improved in the last few years following the introduction of micro-surgery and increased application of free autologous nerve transplants. In the field of oral surgery, a rich experience has been made in plastic and reconstructive repair. The inferior alveolar nerve is endangered by a series of mandibular fractures, with fracture lines running along the nerve canal. For plastic repair of the inferior alveolar nerve, we interpose an autologous transplant from the greater auricular nerve.
