Abstract
If the distribution of the types of nerve fibers in the various intercostal nerves is taken into consideration, an intercostal nerve segment can be an acceptable donor nerve graft for sensory and/or motor nerve replacements. We describe the distribution of motor and sensory axons in various segments of the upper and lower intercostal nerves.Keywords
