Functional and electron-microscopic changes after differential traction injury in the sciatic nerve of a rat.

Published in: Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery (2021)

The present study demonstrated that the nerve traction injury in the rat sciatic nerve damaged the motor and sensory function and axonal integrity. The amount of functional nerve damage was proportional to the amount of traction power and dependent on the initial tensile strengths (0.7N and 1.5N).
