Figure 5

Tract Analysis Report of the preoperative and postoperative tractographies. The colored line represents the median value of all research animals. The grey lines represent the individual research animals tractography analysis report. Close to the edges of the coils receptive field the parameter estimates appear less precise, and the same can be seen when approaching the nerve bifurcation. FA decreases when approaching the nerve injury (b). MD increases distally of the nerve injury (d). AD is lower in the proximal stump than the uninjured nerve but is higher in the distal stump (e & f). RD increase when approaching the nerve injury and is further increased in the distal stump (h). Y-axis represents the individual DTI indices. X-axis represents length of tracts in mm.
