Restoration of innervated muscles following nerve regeneration. The SFC group showed a higher degree of innervated muscle restoration than the NC group but not as much as the Auto group. (A) Electrophysiological evaluation showing no significant differences in the latency of CMAP between the NC, SFC, and Auto groups. (B) The CMAP amplitude in the SFC group was significantly higher than that in the NC group but lower than that in the Auto group. (C) Images of the gastrocnemius of the nerve-transplanted sides (left) and the healthy control sides (right). (D) The SFC group showed less muscular atrophy than the NC group but more atrophy than the Auto group.
