Footprint morphology and SFI at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-surgery.

(A–D) Typical hind feet tracks at 12 weeks post-surgery in sham, PUR, EMC, and MDC groups, respectively. (E) SFI was quantified to evaluate motor function recovery using hind feet tracks. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, vs. PUR group; ###P < 0.001, vs. EMC group. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (number of footprints from each group: > 5; one-way analysis of variance followed by least significant difference or Bonferroni post hoc tests). EMC: External oblique muscle-fabricated nerve conduit; MDC: muscle-derived cell; PUR: polyurethane; SFI: sciatic function index; Sham: sham-operated.
