Where this comes from

Abstract

A tension-free coaptation is a key factor for the successful outcome of any nerve repair. A variety of host factors influence the outcome of digital nerve repair more than the type of repair per se. Although autologous graft remains the reference standard for reconstruction of any critical digital nerve defect, allografts and conduits have assumed an increasing role.
