Figure 4. Femoral nerve motor division histomorphometry.

Figure 4

Representative semi-thin transverse sections of the motor division of each femoral nerve group stained with toluidine blue. A) Fiber diameters in two NIC groups were not significantly different from Crush f (n=6), unlike the (MN+50g)x2 f (n=5), Transection f (n=5) and Transection+Repair f (n=6) groups (*), although all were different from Sham f (**). B) Percentage neural tissue in the (MN+50g)x2 f group showed statistically significant differences compared to the Sham f (n=6) and Crush f groups, similar to the Transection f and Transection+Repair f groups. MN f (n=3); MN+50g f (n=4); 20µm scale bar (* and ** p<0.05).
