From: Sensory protection to enhance functional recovery following proximal nerve injuries: current trends
Figure 1. Schematic representation of surgical methods for sensory protection. (a) Transected nerve, denervated muscle without sensory protection; (b) sensory protection by end‑to‑end neurorrhaphy; (c) sensory protection by end‑to‑side neurorrhaphy; (d) sensory protection by direct muscle neurotization
