Researchers have developed a simple, cheap procedure that repairs nerve damage in the legs. Paralyzed rat patients walked normally within days.
The reduction in recovery time is dramatic: within minutes of waking up in post-op, the rats began to move their damaged limb, and nearly all of them had recovered between 60 to 70% of leg function within 2 to 4 weeks.
The method could be further developed to reattach messy emergency room injuries. New Scientist reports.
After a nerve is severed, the 2 ends should be reconnected as quickly as possible because the disconnected sections wither within a few days.
Usually, doctors stitch the loose ends together, but the body
