Examination of 28 children following the primary and secondary sutures of the median and ulnar nerves as well as their autoplasty, neuroysis and endoneurolysis showed the presence of a certain regularity in the regeneration of the nerve-neuromuscular synapses system after the primary suture of the nerve in the region of the inferior one-third of the forearm as well as after neurolysis and endoneurolysis. Following the autoplasty of defects in excess of 5 cm and the localization of the lesion in the region of the elbow joint and the superior one-third of the forearm, the regularity was disrupted. There was no correlation between the clinical parameters and the stimulation EMG data.
