Article Synopsis
- The wrapping technique aims to protect nerves from scar tissue and enhance their function, particularly after neurolysis for conditions like cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS).
- A study analyzed the effectiveness of AxoGuard® nerve protector, a porcine-derived matrix used during revision surgeries for CuTS, comparing outcomes between patients who had only surgery versus those who received the nerve wrapping.
- Results showed that the wrapping group had significantly better clinical improvement, with 84.4% achieving excellent or good outcomes and no complications related to the implant, indicating that PECM wrapping may help reduce nerve scarring and improve nerve function.
