Ulnar nerve reconstrustion with an expended polytetrafluorethylene conduit

The ulnar nerve of 22 year-old woman was reconstrcted by expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) conduit, 141 days after nerve transection at the distal forearm level. A 2.9 cm nerve gap was bridged by a corrugated, 3.9 cm long, 6mm diameter ePTFE tube. At final evaluation 3 years later the patient achived excellent motor and sensory recovery. Exploration of the tube, at that time, showed macroscopically normal nerve inside conduit.
