Abstract
SINCE the classic studies of Volkmann1 there has been abundant experimental work which shows that, following local injury, mammalian striated muscle is capable of some degree of regeneration. But this regenerative capacity is commonly held to be limited in extent and abortive so far as functional repair is concerned. It can now be stated that, under certain conditions, the regeneration of striated musculature may be much more extensive and complete.
