Abstract

The molecules of cellular adhesion are been used for the coaptation of injured nerves as an alternative of the well know neurorrhaphy, however, there are still missing experimental studies of these two techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional recovery of the sciatic nerve repaired by the fibrin glue, by the means of isolated indirect contractions applied to the myoneural complex, sciatic nerve – extensor muscle of the long fingers (EMLF). Sixteen Wistar rats were divided into two groups: control group (CG), that didn’t have any lesion and the glue group (GG) that had their sciatic nerve injured and repaired with the glue. After 10 weeks, the myoneural complex was collected for the stimulus. The EMLF of the animals of the GG responded with contractions after the stimulus of the motor nerve. Even with greater amplitude than the CG, there wasn’t any significant statistical result. Nerves repaired with glue are capable to conduct nerve impulses to the skeletal muscle.
