Interfascicular nerve grafting of peripheral nerve lesions in childhood.
Interfascicular cable grafting with autologous sural nerve was carried out in 43 peripheral nerve lesions among 37 children aged 5--16 years. The follow-up study included neurophysiologically proved regeneration. The results seem superior to those obtained with the conventional technique. The technique is advocated for use in children with nerve gaps of more than 2--2.5 cm.
