摘要
Morphometric data were obtained in 2 experimental conditions: crush lesion of the sciatic nerve of rats, and transection of this nerve followed by repair. Ratios were used in order to facilitate comprehension of data. Results were compared to those obtained using a method of functional assessment. The study indicated that morphometric data provided a reliable picture of the trophic condition of regenerated nerves but did not correlate with the level of function.
