Figure 9. Tibial nerve repair by sural cable graft. This patient suffered a gunshot wound in the leg resulting in transection of the tibial nerve. Proximal and distal stumps (yellow arrows) are identified (A). The proximal and distal stumps were breadloafed back to healthy-appearing fascicles and an interpositional sural cable graft (blue arrow) was used to repair the resulting defect (B).
