Comparative study reveals similar injury responses in sural nerves across humans, pigs, and rats, indicating implications for nerve repair.

This research aims to compare the biomechanical responses of sural nerves in human infants, pigs, and rats.
Biomechanical failure tensile testing on sural nerves from humans, pigs, and rats.
Comparison of failure load, failure stress, strain, and Young's Modulus among species.
Histological analysis of tested nerves to assess vascular and fiber damage.
No significant differences in failure properties between human and pig nerves.
Higher failure load and Young's Modulus in human and pig nerves compared to rat nerves.
Significantly higher failure stress observed in humans compared to rats.
