Sciatic Nerves

Caption

This image shows the effects of electric stimulation and decimeter wave on ultrastructure of the sciatic nerves in rats with sciatic nerve compression at the 4th week post-operation (transmission electron microscopy, × 30 000). In the intraoperative electric stimulation and decimeter wave group, the myelin sheath was relatively thick and the regenerated axon had a normal appearance.
