Average time to repair was 68.4 (standard deviation 79.6) days. Postoperative improvements were observed in total eFACE (73.3\u201386.5;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.0001) and FaCE (21.5\u201338.1;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.0214) scores. Distal FN injuries were most common (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200929) and had best recovery (percentage change in eFACE 57.2% vs. 34.3% main trunk,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.0306). Discontinuity injuries (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200933) repaired with primary coaptation (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200918) had noninferior outcomes compared with cable graft repair (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200916; percentage change in eFACE 49.6% vs. 39.2%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.3470).
