Damage and Regeneration of Peripheral Nerves in Advanced Treated Leprosy
Lancet 342:521-525, Miko,T.L.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We conclude that nerve regeneration was blocked by fibrous replacement of the distal-most nerves and nerve endings,and that the theoretical basis of nerve grafting in leprosy is in need of further clarification.In some patients,autologous transplantation of skin flaps,probably irrespective of the duration of loss of sensation,might help in regaining protective sensation.
