Cover Story: Several factors can necessitate delaying regenerative treatments for severe muscle trauma, including infection, management of comorbidities, and the time required for biomanufacturing of the therapeutics themselves. This study investigated using a polyvinyl alcohol-based, in situ-forming muscle void filler (MVF) to provide initial stabilization following volumetric muscle loss injury. These MVFs were removed after four weeks and replaced with minced muscle grafts to promote the regeneration of functional skeletal muscle within the defect. While this multi-stage approach effectively maintained the defect volume and minimized complications, the delayed application of MMGs did not demonstrate significant regenerative benefits.
