The lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve was used as a nerve graft to bridge a defect
in a digital nerve, when with the digit in full extension the nerve ends could not
be approximated without tension. Thirteen grafts have been followed from 7 to 23 months.
Two patients did not regain two point discrimination and therefore had a poor result.
The remaining 11 patients recovered two point discrimination between 7 and 20 mm.
