The analysis of nerve morphology is an aspect which may provide an impact on successful clinical outcomes through better prediction of donor and recipient matching. In this study, we evaluated the morphological aspects of the human obturator nerve for a better understanding of its potential in nerve transplantation. Morphological characteristics of donor obturator nerves were analysed, including nerve diameter and length, fascicle count and the ratio of neural to non\u2010neural tissue present within the cross\u2010sectional area of the nerve's epineurium, with respect to laterality and sex. Statistical significance (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.10) was determined for male obturator nerves having an average diameter of 2.67\u2009mm compared to female obturator nerves at 1.91\u2009mm, as well as left obturator nerves having an average of 11.21 fascicles compared to the right having an average of 10.17 fascicles. Strong positive correlations were determined between cross\u2010sectional nerve area and limb size index, as well as between percentage of non\u2010neural tissue and area of non\u2010neural tissue, among males. Separately, strong correlation between percentage of non\u2010neural tissue and area of non\u2010neural tissue among right obturator nerves in males and females was determined . These findings indicate that there are associations and predictions that can be made about nerve morphology and that these when combined with other patient characteristics may enhance patient functional recovery following a peripheral nerve's repair.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.12905","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,24]],"date-time":"2023-01-24T13:21:57Z","timestamp":1674566517000},"page":"490-499","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Morphology and morphometry of the human obturator nerve in males and females"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Mason","family":"Yount","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alekhya","family":"Peruri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malek","family":"Zahed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Virginia","family":"Fritz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zachary","family":"Simmons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Millard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David T.","family":"Redden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miguel Angel","family":"Reina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEU\u2010San\u2010Pablo University School of Medicine  Madrid Spain"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology University of Florida College of Medicine  Gainesville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kelly C.
