Abstract
This paper describes 30 mm regeneration of peripheral nerve axons along collagen filaments; 31-mm-long collagen filaments or collagen tube were grafted to bridge a 30-mm defect of rat sciatic nerve. The mean number and the diameter of regenerated myelinated axons were 330±227 and 2.7±0.9 μm at the distal end of the collagen-filaments 12 weeks postoperatively; while at the distal end of the tube no axon was found.
