ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the efficacy of axonal repair technique for treatment of peripheral nerve injury clinically.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In 1998, the authors applied axonal repair technique to treat peripheral nerve injuries in 12 patients with 13 nerves. It consists of four steps, ie, stumps of the nerve being soaked in a modified Collins fluid, freezed, trimmed, and coapted with glue, making the injured nerve repaired at the axonal level.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patients were followed up for an average of 13 months. Results showed that in 4 cases of first-stage contralateral C7 transfer, regenerating axons reached to the sternoclavicular joint or axilla at 4 to 7 months, offering the timing for performing the second-stage contralateral C7 transfer. In 5 cases of accessory nerve transferred to the suprascapular nerve, the abduction of the shoulder was 40 degree on average. In the other 3 patients with four different nerves repaired, results were also satisfactory.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>This technique is promising in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury.</p>
