This experimental study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of end-to-side coaptation between the musculocutaneous nerve and the phrenic nerve for brachial plexus injuries with nerve-root avulsions. In an experimental rabbit model, neurotization of the musculocutaneous nerve with the phrenic nerve was compared using end-to-end and end-to-side neurorrhaphy. Preliminary results from electrophysiologic and histologic examinations indicate that end-to-side neurotization of the musculocutaneous nerve with the phrenic nerve is an effective means for musculocutaneous nerve repair. The effectiveness of the phrenic nerve is attributed to its large number of motor axons.
本实验研究旨在评估肌皮神经与膈神经端侧吻合术治疗神经根撕脱性臂丛神经损伤的疗效。在实验兔模型中，采用端端和端侧神经缝合术比较膈神经对肌皮神经的神经移植效果。电生理和组织学检查的初步结果表明，膈神经对肌皮神经的端侧神经移植是修复肌皮神经的有效方法。膈神经的有效性归因于其大量的运动轴突。
