Hydrophilic Polymers Enhance Early Functional Outcomes after Nerve Autografting

BACKGROUND: Approximately 12% of operations for traumatic neuropathy are for patients with segmental nerve loss and less than 50% of these injuries obtain meaningful functional recovery. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) therapy has been shown to improve functional outcomes after nerve severance and we hypo...
