We investigated the use of MNM reinnervation, alone or in combination with electrical stimulation (ES) and testosterone propionate (TP) in comparison to nerve reanastomosis (RE), on functional recovery following rat facial nerve injury.

Muscle-nerve-muscle (MNM) grafting is a lesser known alternative. After previously demonstrating significant return of function using MNM grafting in a rat facial nerve model, the authors compare the use of multiple MNM nerve grafts with that of single MNM and IP nerve grafts.

After previously demonstrating significant return of function using muscle-nerve-muscle (MNM) grafting in a rat facial nerve model, this study compares a variant of the technique, muscle-nerve-nerve (MNN) neurotization to MNM and interposition (IP) nerve grafting.

Histologic analysis of the MNM grafts demonstrated growth of myelinated fibers across nerve grafts in both MNM and MNM+ animals.

Sep 2, 2014 · Objectives (1) Describe the muscle-nerve-muscle (MNM) reinnervation technique, which involves implanting a graft to serve as a conduit between an innervated donor muscle and a denervated...

The MNM demonstrated self-rectification when an alternating current magnetic field was delivered at the mechanical resonance frequency, which was essential for precisely timed neural stimulation. Researchers have also studied the biocompatibility of MNM as long-term implants.

Histologic analysis of the MNM grafts demonstrated growth of myelinated fibers across nerve grafts in both MNM and MNM+ animals.

Sep 5, 2018 · Muscle-nerve-muscle (MNM) grafting is a lesser known alternative. After previously demonstrating significant return of function using MNM grafting in a rat facial nerve model, the authors compare the use of multiple MNM nerve grafts with …

Jan 10, 2017 · We investigated the use of MNM reinnervation, alone or in combination with electrical stimulation (ES) and testosterone propionate (TP) in comparison to nerve reanastomosis (RE), on functional recovery following rat facial nerve injury.
