Where this comes from

Abstract

Peripheral nerve injuries are prevalent and their treatments present significant challenges. Among the various reconstructive options, nerve conduits and wraps are popular choices. Advances in bioengineering and regenerative medicine have led to the development of new biocompatible materials and implant designs that offer the potential for enhanced neural recovery. Cost, nerve injury type, and implant size must be considered when deciding on the ideal reconstructive option.
