To determine the contribution of the graft pathway to PMR, we analyzed the effects of reversing the alignment of the cutaneous and muscle branches of the graft while maintaining the constant alignment of the recipient nerve/end organ components. The pathway did not influence PMR when it was fresh (p=0.367), but influenced PMR significantly when it had been predegenerated for 2 weeks (p=0.15). When comparing these two effects, the pathway contribution to PMR was enhanced significantly by predegeneration (p=0.022).
