No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of autologous fat graft in enhancing peripheral nerve regeneration. The investigators hypothesize that fat grafting will allow for faster and greater recovery of motor and sensory function following surgical repair of injured peripheral nerves.

Conditions

  • Nerve Injury

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Autologous Fat Grafting

* The fat grafts will be harvested from the abdomen or lateral thighs in a closed sterile system, then prepared according to Coleman guidelines. The blood and oil layers are then separated from the adipose tissue. * The lipoaspirate will be injected based on a technique described by Vaienti et al, by 17-gaug cannula which will be inserted through the skin around the main incision at the nerve repair site, and the fat graft will be injected after closure of the skin.

PROCEDURE

Primary Nerve Repair

Standard Epineural nerve repairs will be performed with 9/0 nylon sutures, under magnification by an operating microscope.
