Fig. 5From: Nerve merging repair in the replantation of a severed limb with defects in multiple nerves: five cases and long-term follow-up A patient (case 1) undergoing M-(M + R) repair (part 3). A The transplantation material was pulled through a subcutaneous tunnel to be sutured with the distal ends of the MN and RN. B The MN and RN were repaired by epineurium-perineurium suture. Arrow: RN. Arrowhead: MN. C Schematic diagram of nerve merging repair in case 1. The triceps brachii branch of the RN was intact; thus, the RN was not suitable for retrograde separation for self-repairBack to article page
