Long-Standing Motor and Sensory Recovery following Acute Fibrin Sealant Based Neonatal Sciatic Nerve Repair

Figure 11

Motor function recovery up to 12 weeks after lesion by the analysis of the peroneal nerve functional index. Observe the significantly better performance of coaptation groups (AX+FS and AX+CFS) when compared with axotomy without repair group (AX). AX: axotomy; AX+FS: axotomy followed by coaptation with fibrin sealant derived from snake venom; AX+CFS: axotomy followed by coaptation with commercial fibrin sealant; control: unlesioned group.
