Abstract

The effect of tissue expansion on peripheral nerves was studied in 214 rats. Slow expansion (over 15 days) is better tolerated than rapid expansion (over 3 days). The resulting increase in length of the nerve is proportional to the degree of expansion. All the nerves which underwent expansion showed a decrease in conduction velocity and this reduction was greater for nerves which were elongated by 50% or more.
