The anterior tibial nerves of dogs were cut to determine which of fascicular, interfascicular and epineural suture techniques were best.
2.
There was not a significant difference between the results of fascicular and epineural, but a significant difference between the two and interfascicular.
3.
The hyponeural groove is covered by soft integument, which forms a spacious epineural canal that is not closed over by ventral arm plates.
4.
Relatively tethered location around fibular head, tenuous vascular supply and epineural connective tissues are possible factors that cause damage on the common peroneal nerve.
