Figure 6.
Histomorphometric comparisons of nerve regeneration in the distal stump of the transected femoral motor or sensory branch using different graft modalities (motor, mixed or sensory) after 7 weeks. No differences were seen in the quantification of A) total number of fibers, B) percent nerve, C) fiber debris, D) fiber width or E) percent density between any of the experimental groups regardless of modality match or mismatch (bars are averages, error bars are standard deviation, Motor to Motor n = 8, Mixed to Motor n = 7, Sensory to Motor n = 6, Motor to Sensory n = 6, Mixed to Sensory n = 9, and Sensory to Sensory n = 6).
