For nerve injuries, not amendable to tensionless epineural coaptation of the nerve, autografts are the preferred treatment. Although absorbable sutures are not recommended for nerve repair, there is no evidence that non-absorbable sutures are superior to absorbable sutures. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of non-absorbable monofilament nylon sutures, absorbable monofilament vicryl sutures, and fibrin glue when used for nerve grafting.
