| Popis: | Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Summary: Major factors that influence functional nerve recovery, postrepair, are length of the nerve defect, type of injury, operative technique, time until treatment, and age of the patient. We present a severe motor nerve defect in a complicated peroneal nerve injury in a 9-year-old that showed functional return after a delayed period of 23 months with sural nerve cable grafting. This case revealed the increased resiliency and regenerative capacity of motor end plates in young patients. In conclusion, autograft for a deep peroneal nerve repair, by means of sural nerve graft, proved to be an acceptable option in children. |
