Nerve injury and regeneration

Three to three and a half years after repair of monkey nerves, comparison of total myelinated nerves, electron microscopic sections, and nerve conduction velocities delineated no significant difference between nerves sutured in adult life and those sutured in infancy. Extrapolating these results to the human clinical situation, central nervous system adaption in young patients could explain the better clinical results.
