Peroneal Nerve Repair of a 9 Year Old: Return of Motor Function after 2 Years

Major factors that influence functional nerve recovery, postrepair, are length of the nerve defect, type of injury, operative technique, time until treatment, and age of the patient. We present a severe motor nerve defect in a complicated peroneal nerve injury in a 9-year-old that showed functional...

description Major factors that influence functional nerve recovery, postrepair, are length of the nerve defect, type of injury, operative technique, time until treatment, and age of the patient. We present a severe motor nerve defect in a complicated peroneal nerve injury in a 9-year-old that showed functional return after a delayed period of 23 months with sural nerve cable grafting. This case revealed the increased resiliency and regenerative capacity of motor end plates in young patients. In conclusion, autograft for a deep peroneal nerve repair, by means of sural nerve graft, proved to be an acceptable option in children.
