Isolated division of the tibial nerve in the thigh preserving the peroneal and sural nerves does not cause loss of normal position of the animal, in particular of sitting. Nor does it lead to pressure sores. The animals are fitter then after division of the sciatic nerve. Microsurgical suture of the isolated tibial nerve in the thigh of the rabbit with 1 or 2 simple sutures with 10 x 0 thread show that an average recovery can be achieved in over 80 per cent. As few sutures as possible should be used. Otherwise there with be scarring and no return of function.
在大腿部单独切断胫神经而保留腓总神经和腓肠神经，不会导致动物正常姿势的丧失，尤其是坐姿。也不会引发褥疮。与坐骨神经切断后相比，此时动物更健康。用10-0缝线进行1或2针简单缝合，对兔大腿部单独切断的胫神经进行显微外科缝合，结果显示平均恢复率可达80%以上。应尽可能少用缝线。否则会形成瘢痕且功能无法恢复。
