ABSTRACT
Nerve autografts involve the transplantation of a segment of the patient's own nerve to bridge a nerve gap. Autografts provide biological compatibility, support for axonal regeneration, and the ability to provide an anatomic scaffold for regrowth that other modalities may not match. Disadvantages of the autograft include donor site morbidity and the extra operative time needed to harvest the graft. Nevertheless, nerve autografts such as the sural nerve remain the gold standard in reconstructing nerve gaps, but a multitude of factors need to be favorable in order to garner reliable, consistent outcomes.
