Abstract
Long-gap nerve injuries offer unique physiological and logistical treatment challenges to the reconstructive surgeon. Options include nerve autograft, processed nerve allograft, nerve transfers, and tendon transfers. This review provides an evidence-framed discussion regarding the pros and cons of these diverse approaches.
