Acellular nerve allografts are a viable treatment modality for bridging nerve gaps. Several small studies have demonstrated results equal to those of autologous grafts; however, there is information lacking with regard to outcomes for wider indications. The authors evaluated the outcomes of patients treated with a nerve allograft in a variety of clinical situations.
