Résumé
Peripheral nerve injury and the nerves' subsequent repair and regeneration continues to be marked clinically by poor functional recovery. The analysis of nerve morphology is an aspect which may provide an impact on successful clinical outcomes through better prediction of donor and recipient matching. In this study, we evaluated the morphological aspects of the human obturator nerve for a better understanding of its potential in nerve transplantation. Morphological characteristics of donor obturator nerves were analysed, including nerve diameter and length, fascicle count and the ratio of neural to non-neural tissue present within the cross-sectional area of the nerve's epineurium, with respect to laterality and sex. Statistical significance (p < 0.10) was determined for male obturator nerves having an average diameter of 2.67 mm compared to female obturator nerves at 1.91 mm, as well as left obturator nerves having an average of 11.21 fascicles compared to the right having an average of 10.17 fascicles. Strong positive correlations were determined between cross-sectional nerve area and limb size index, as well as between percentage of non-neural tissue and area of non-neural tissue, among males. Separately, strong correlation between percentage of non-neural tissue and area of non-neural tissue among right obturator nerves in males and females was determined . These findings indicate that there are associations and predictions that can be made about nerve morphology and that these when combined with other patient characteristics may enhance patient functional recovery following a peripheral nerve's repair.
