This study was designed to determine the correlation between functional recovery and the extent of axonal regeneration after muscle reinnervation with our recently developed nerve-muscle-endplate band grafting (NMEG) technique in a rat model. The right experimentally paralyzed sternomastoid (SM) muscle by nerve transection was immediately reinnervated with a NMEG pedicle harvested from a neighboring sternohyoid (SH) muscle. The NMEG pedicle contained a muscle block (6x6x3 mm), a donor nerve branch with nerve terminals and a motor endplate band. Three months after surgery, the tetanic force of the SM muscle was measured and the regenerated axons in the muscle were detected using neurofilament immunohistochemistry. The results showed that the maximal tetanic force (a measure of muscle functional recovery) of the NMEG reinnervated SM muscle reached up to 66.0% of the normal control. The wet weight of the reinnervated SM muscle (a measure of muscle mass recovery) was 87.2% of the control. The area fraction of the regenerating axons visualized with neurofilament staining within the NMEG reinnervated SM muscle (a measure of muscle reinnervation) was 42.3%. A positive correlation was revealed between the extent of muscle reinnervation and maximal muscle force. Our newly developed NMEG technique results in satisfactory functional outcomes and nerve regeneration. Further improvement in the functional recovery after NMEG reinnervation, could be achieved by refining the surgical procedure and creating an ideal environment that favors axon-endplate connections and accelerates axonal growth and sprouting.
