Continuous versus interrupted epineural repair in forearm nerve injuries

Continuous epineural suture technique achieves equivalent functional outcomes to conventional interrupted repair while significantly reducing operative time by approximately 38%. This approach may offer practical advantages in peripheral nerve reconstruction without compromising neurological recovery, potentially reducing anesthesia exposure and healthcare costs.

Abstract

Continuous epineural suture technique achieves equivalent functional outcomes to conventional interrupted repair while significantly reducing operative time by approximately 38%. This approach may offer practical advantages in peripheral nerve reconstruction without compromising neurological recovery, potentially reducing anesthesia exposure and healthcare costs.
