Early Expression of MMP-9 Predicts Recovery of Tibialis Anterior after Sciatic Nerve Crush Injury

Background:. The purpose of this study was to assess the expression of molecular markers and epineural blood flow after differing degrees of nerve injury to identify potential tools to predict nerve recovery in a rat sciatic nerve model. Methods:. A total of 72 rats were divided into nine groups. Ea...
