Less than 50% of regenerating sensory or motor axons reach the correct end organ. Regeneration of motor axons is limited to approximately 12 months, after which time absorption of </span>motor end plates occurs.Autogenous nerve grafts are in extremely limited supply, with sural nerve grafts being the primary source. Synthetic nerve grafts currently are unable to support nerve regeneration across long defects, but hold great promise.
