Abstract

Processed nerve allografts are increasingly used in clinical nerve reconstruction with promising results. However, allograft failure has been reported, leading to chronic pain and persistent loss of function. In the present work, we performed a histological and immunohistochemical analysis of two failed allograft reconstructions of a sensory human nerve one year after primary surgery.
