Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of pl-vegf165 ("Neovasculgen") for regeneration of peripheral nerve. Pl-vegf165 ("Neovasculgen") is the permitted in Russian Federation angiogenic medication that induce growth of new vessels and included in a complex therapy for patients with peripheral arterial diseases in Russia. It has also been shown to enhance nerve regeneration and muscle reinnervation in animals but these properties have not previously been studied in patients. Moreover, currently there is no method in clinical use to speed the rate of recovery after nerve injury. The objective of this study is to explore the ability of pl-vegf165 to benefit the treatment of patients with peripheral nerve injury. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with intraneural injections with pl-vegf165 after peripheral nerve reconstruction will accelerate nerve regeneration, reduce the period of denervation and improve muscle reinnervation and recovery in patients with peripheral nerve injury.
