ABSTRACT
Peripheral nerve injuries are an important condition given economic
losses related to recovery time, which may even result in permanent
disability. There fore, is of great interest to know the surgical repair
options and significant clinical data for postoperative follow-up. The
objective was to report the effectiveness of using autologous sural nerve
graft for secondary repair of the median nerve. The procedure was performed
in one patient in the 4th decade of life, with clinical evidence
of peripheral nerve injury after 20 days. The repair was performed with
autologous sural nerve graft with epineural technique, later evolving with
acceptable recovery based on the chart of the nerve injury committee,
with follow up at 6 months. The use of autologous sural nerve graft to
correct the secondary median nerve injury proved to be successful in
this type of patient.
