description With the development of modern medicine, the research methods of occurrence, development and treatment of orthopedic diseases are developing rapidly. The microenvironment provided by traditional orthopedic research methods differ considerably from the human body, resulting in poor or inconsistent conclusions in previous studies. Microfluidic technology has shown its advantages in the field of orthopedic research, especially in providing bionic mechanical stimulation environment. The microfluidic device can simulate the complex internal environment through the fine and complex structure and perfusion control system, and provide a stable, controllable and efficient culture system. Moreover, it can serve as a manufacturing device, which can produce bone grafts or bone like organs for tissue engineering with bionic structure. It can also simultaneously act as a detection device, which can realize high-throughput detection of small samples at low cost. In addition, we can establish in vitro physiological or pathological models on microfluidic systems to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic diseases. This paper reviews the medical application of microfluidic devices in orthopedics.
