Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is a large injury to skeletal muscle. VML heals with scarring, little muscle regeneration, and incomplete strength recovery. The current treatment for VML involves transferring muscle from one part of the body to the injury site. However, this is limited by weakness of the donor site and incomplete recovery of muscle function. Therefore, other treatments have been developed to aid in muscle healing. One such treatment involves using three dimensional templates, known as scaffolds, to aid in muscle regeneration. Our goal is to determine whether a collagenglycosaminoglycan scaffold (CGS), which is already used for other medical purposes, can improve healing of VML injuries in rats. CGS placement in rat muscle injuries resulted in decreased scarring, increased muscle regeneration, and increased strength recovery compared with the non-CGS group.
