Digital nerve reconstruction with a new composite silk fibroin nerve conduit
The mid-term evaluation of the first in-human digital nerve reconstruction with the SILKBridge revealed safety, efficiency, and favorable biocompatibility properties. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to validate these findings and compare them with other nerve repair methods.
