Schematic representation of behavioral recovery as measured by the Sciatic Function Index (SFI) for 12 weeks postoperatively after various surgical procedures to rat sciatic nerves as abbreviated in key.

Representational curves show results of (1) sham operations in which the sciatic nerve is not cut; (2) allografts that are micro-sutured and PEG-fused after lesioning in calcium-containing salines (Riley et al., 2015; dotted lines show expected data); (3) single cut made in calcium-free saline, micro-sutured and PEG-fused; (4) single cut made in calcium-containing saline, micro-sutured and PEG-fused; (5) single cut made in calcium-containing or calcium-free saline and micro-sutured; no PEG is applied; (6) single cut made in calcium-containing or calcium-free salines or ablation with allograft (but no PEG-fusion) made in calcium-containing salines.
