Abstract
Three cases are reported to illustrate the potential danger of silicon—polymer intubulation of nerve for either nerve repair or following neurolysis. Since silicon‐polymer intubulation of nerve is now a proven model for producing chronic nerve compression, its use clinically may be contraindicated where neural regeneration is the desired goal.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
