Implication

This analysis reveals significant differences in biomechanical properties of sural nerve in humans and pigs, indicating implications for peripheral nerve injury management.

Key Points

Sural nerves in humans and pigs showed significantly higher failure load and Young's Modulus than those in rats.
Failure stress was notably higher in human sural nerves compared to rats, highlighting species-specific differences.
Histological analysis demonstrated similar degrees of vascular and fiber damage across the three species studied.
Findings suggest insights for translational research aimed at improving methods for peripheral nerve injury repair.
