Implication

A systematic review compares sensory recovery in digital nerve repair using conduits versus grafts, highlighting viable alternatives without complications.

Key Points

To compare the efficacy and safety of nerve conduits versus autologous nerve grafts in digital nerve injuries, focusing on sensory recovery.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines.
Included randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing nerve conduits to ANG.
Primary outcomes evaluated were static and moving two-point discrimination.
Used random-effects model to pool mean differences and risk ratios.
Nerve conduits showed comparable sensory recovery to ANG for both static and moving two-point discrimination.
Chitosan-based conduits had significantly better outcomes than ANG for static two-point discrimination.
Complication rates were similar between both treatments, with lower complication rates for conduits in RCTs.
