ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Processed nerve allograft is a widely accepted tool for reconstructing peripheral nerve defects. Repair parameters that need to be considered include gap length, nerve diameter, nerve type (motor, sensory, or mixed), and the soft tissue envelope. Although the use of processed nerve allograft must be considered based on each unique clinical scenario, a rough algorithm can be formed based on the available animal and clinical literature. This article critically reviews the current surgical algorithm, defines the role of processed nerve allograft compared with nerve autograft, and discusses how this role may change in the future.
