title: Advances in small gap sleeve bridging peripheral nerve injury.
abstract: Abstract: Nerve regeneration and re-innervation are usually difficult after peripheral nerve injury. Epineurium neurorrhaphy to recover the nerve continuity was the traditional choice of peripheral nerve mutilation without nerve defects, whereas the functional recovery was not quite satisfactory. In this article, the authors review the literature focused on peripheral nerve injury research and possible clinical application, including introducing peripheral nerve selective regeneration theory, small gap sleeve bridging nerve methodepineurium neurorrhaphy, kinds of biological conduit, and microenvironment research between nerve stumps.
