      Abstract

      • 1.
        1. Healing of severed, striated muscle of dogs and rats occurs by fibrous connective tissue growth from the epi-, peri-, and endomysium, and not through regeneration of muscle cells.
      • 2.
        2. Fascia unites readily to fascia, when closely approximated, by connective tissue growth.
      • 3.
        3. The type of suture material employed (silk or catgut) did not appear to influence the degree or extent of union between fascia or muscle.
      • 4.
        4. A firmer union developed between muscle and muscle and between fascia and fascia than Seelig and Chouké observed between muscle and fascia.
      • 5.
        5. The union of muscle to muscle and fascia to fascia is complete eight to eleven days after suture.
