After the right sciatic nerves of 48 rats were transected and immediately repaired, nerves were randomly divided into two groups. Nerves to which were applied hyaluronic acid comprised the experimental group, and nerves to which were applied saline comprised the control group. Perineural scarring was evaluated at 4 and 12 weeks macroscopically and histologically. Nerves treated with hyaluronic acid demonstrated significant reduction in perineural scar thickness (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05, Student's <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test). Histomorphologic nerve analysis, electrophysiologic studies, muscle mass evaluation, and serial functional walking\u2010track analysis were performed for evaluation of peripheral nerve regeneration at 12 weeks. The results showed better conduction velocities, increased axon\u2010fiber diameter, and faster functional recovery in hyaluronic acid\u2010treated nerves (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05, Student's <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test). In conclusion, hyaluronic acid appears to be effective in preventing perineural scar formation, resulting in enhancement of peripheral nerve regeneration. \u00a9 2003 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.
