      Outcomes from nerve gap repair can be dependent upon the material used to restore the discontinuity. To examine these differences we added contemporary control cohorts to a national nerve registry. Based on scientific evidence and historical controls, we hypothesized that processed nerve allografts would perform similar to nerve autograft and significantly better than tube conduit.
