Abstract
This is a report of a study in which cuffs of biodegradable copolymers were placed about ulnar and peroneal nerves in legs of ten adult mongrel dogs. The results were evaluated by clinical response, electromyographic observations, nerve conduction studies, and light microscopic examination.Keywords
