Functional analysis. (A) The inner toe spread (ITS) and the outer toe spread (TS) were measured and compared between the operated and the not-operated limb. (B) The temporal course of the VSSI across the 12-week postoperative period. After a significant decrease in toe spread from the preoperative measurement to the first postoperative measurement for both nerve injury groups (GA and GA + FG), it took the GA + FG group six weeks and the GA group nine weeks to achieve significant postoperative motor function restitution.
