Abstract
Our experimental and histopathological findings of normal nerve-fibres in the distal and intermediate segments of nerves completely separated from the proximal stump for more than six months differs from those of previous observers, and the application of our observations in surgical reconstruction of about one hundred human nerves, chiefly from the upper limb, has resulted in appreciably great degrees of success in most cases.Keywords
