Abstract
Tension-free primary digital nerve repair may be unachievable in the presence of a nerve defect and require digital nerve reconstruction. Multiple techniques are available for reconstruction of a digital nerve defect using conduits, autograft, and allograft. Multiple comparison studies exist in the literature, suggesting similar results with autograft and allograft reconstruction, with several comparison studies suggesting inferior outcomes with conduit repair.
