Abstract
A previous study from this laboratory showed that changes in histochemical profile and morphometry of an affected muscle are reliable indicators as well as predictors of reinnervation processes over time following experimental peripheral nerve crush injury [1]. This approach was applied in the present study, which addresses changes evolving after end-to-end repair.
