Abstract
|
|
|
|
An injury of a peripheral nerve may require reconstruction for motor and sensory function recovery. However, if the nerve defect is long, especially in the lower extremities, reconstruction with successful functional recovery has proven to be difficult. We documented a case of bilateral vascularized sural nerve graft repair of a large and long sciatic nerve defect following malignant tumor resection on the posterior thigh. Although we were unable to achieve satisfactory outcomes in motor function recovery, we did achieve some degree of sensory function recovery.
