Abstract

20 patients with 30 damaged nerves have been reexamined after direct suture and nerve grafts respectively transplantation. The results obtained have been evaluated according to the principles of HIGHET and SEDDON as well as to those of CLEMENS. In 61% of the cases a good sensibility was retrieved. The results concerning motor function were found to be surprisingly satisfactory. The transplantation of short grafts showed especially good results. According to CLEMENS the reconstruction of the nerves was successful in 65% of the cases. The most satisfactory results were obtained at the median nerve.
