- Toe spreading was measured pre-operative and at different time points after autologous nerve transplantation (ANT) or crush injury (CI). CI and ANT treated animals both demonstrated improvement of toe spread factor (TSF) and intermediate toe spread factor (ITSF) over time. Although both groups reached a plateau at approximately 35 dpo, ANT treated animals never reached pre-operative values, whereas CI animals did (** p<0.01).
