title: Chapter 10: Conduit luminal additives for peripheral nerve repair.
abstract: The use of nerve conduits as an alternative for nerve grafting has a long experimental and clinical history. Luminal additives, factors introduced into these nerve conduits, were later developed to enhance the nerve regeneration through conduits. This chapter generalizes the types of additives used, and the reported performance of luminal additives in conduits to present a preference list for the most effective additives to use over specific distances of nerve defect.
