Ultrastructural changes in spinal motoneurons and locomotor functional study after sciatic nerve repair in conduit tube.
Motor deficit and neuron degeneration is seen after nerve transection. The aim of this study is to determine whether a poled polyvinelidene fluoride (PVDF) tube with other supportive strategies can protect the neuronal morphology and motor function after sciatic nerve transaction in rats. ⋯ The epineural suture has more efficacies, and NGC may be used as a proper substitute for autograft in nerve injury.
