With the aid of physiotherapists and occupational therapists, individuals with an SCI can learn new skills and adapt previous ones to maximize independence, often living independently within the community. Olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) have been transplanted with success into the spinal cord of Polish man named Darek Fidyka, who was the victim of a knife attack that left him paraplegic in 2010. In 2014, Fidyka underwent pioneering spinal surgery that used nerve grafts, from his ankle, to 'bridge the gap' in his severed spinal cord and OEC's to
Epineurial repair 12 weeks in order to know functional recovery of the flexor muscle (the muscle that is flexed when the end of the finger is brought to the palm) in fingers along with median nerve regeneration. The results showed that MDP with fibrin tissue adhesive (FTA) and epineurial sutures were the best performing group among the sutures and sutures combined with FTA.

Nerve grafts are used to
