Pathomorphology of Regenerating Peripheral Nerves

  • Conference paper
Peripheral Nerve Lesions

Abstract

Regeneration of peripheral nerve fibers following various lesions (see Sunder-land 1978) and restitution of peripheral nerve structure after severance of a nerve are followed by a number of changes. These are considered below.
