If there is an injury or surgical procedure that cuts into or removes muscle, they use mesh for a "skin-graft" (for lack of a better term).

It certainly isn't optimal over repair, but if the muscle can't be repaired, it is better then nothing.

This applies to all muscle issues, not just female. Class action suit is likely targeted to a specific procedure.
