The aim of this study is to evaluate in humans a potential benefit related to Tacrolimus after nerve repair. This is a open, prove of concept type of study, where the speed and quality of nerve regeneration under Tacrolimus medication will be evaluated in ten patients presenting a peripheral nerve section.

Inclusion criteria

• Patients presenting a total section of a major nerve at the arm, forearm, or leg, and treated by conventional nerve suture under microscope within ten days of the trauma. Patients with nerve autografts performed in good conditions (well-vascularized bed, absence of tension, operation performed within 4 months after the nerve section) can be included in the study
