digital nerve repair; sensory recovery; nerve regeneration; rehabilitation; microsurgeryAbstract
Background: Recovery after digital nerve repair is often treated as a technical consequence of coaptation. In practice, sensibility reflects injury biology, nerve-end quality, mechanics, axonal regeneration, target reinnervation, cortical adaptation, pain, and rehabilitation
