In peripheral nerve injuries, autologous nerve grafting is often performed when direct anastomosis is difficult, but in cases involving sensory nerves, nerve conduits may be useful. However, there are few reports on the use of nerve conduits for motor nerve injuries. In this case, we used a nerve conduit to treat a posterior interosseous nerve injury, which is a predominantly motor nerve, and achieved relatively favorable results. This case suggests that nerve conduits could be useful for small-gap, thin motor nerve defects, especially when the injury is close to the neuromuscular junction.
在外周神经损伤中，当直接吻合困难时，常进行自体神经移植，但在涉及感觉神经的病例中，神经导管可能会有用。然而，关于将神经导管用于运动神经损伤的报道很少。在本病例中，我们使用神经导管治疗主要为运动神经的骨间后神经损伤，并取得了相对良好的效果。该病例表明，神经导管可用于小间隙、细的运动神经缺损，尤其是当损伤靠近神经肌肉接头时。
