[Nerve graft predegenerated in situ, and fresh nerve graft. Comparative study in the rabbit].
Experimental studies have been made in rabbits in which an operative gap in the nerve was bridged either with a fresh nerve graft taken from the opposite side or with a degenerate graft, the nerve on the opposite side having been divided 15 days earlier. Technical details of the method are described. An electromyographic study demonstrated better results with the predegenerate graft and histological examination showed a better maturation of the axons.
