Delayed (degenerate) interfascicular nerve grafting: a new concept in peripheral nerve repair.
Interfascicular nerve grafts allowed to undergo endoneurial tube emptying in situ before transfer have been compared with grafts transferred fresh in terms of structure and function. The sciatic nerve of the rat was the model and its structure and ultrastructure were superior following degenerate grafting. More importantly, electrophysiological studies showed that function in nerves repaired with degenerate grafts was significantly better than in those repaired with fresh grafts.

The control of pain after Keller's operation by the instillation of local anaesthetic before closure. A prospective controlled trial.
With the aim of controlling pain after Keller's operation, a solution of a long-acting local anaesthetic was instilled into the field before closure in a series of thirty patients. In a controlled prospective trial this simple technique by itself proved to be significantly better than either foot block at the ankle or the usual analgesics and was free from local or systemic complications.
