Optimizing Design Parameters of PLA 3D-Printed Scaffolds for Bone Defect Repair

Optimizing Design Parameters of PLA 3D-Printed Scaffolds for Bone Defect Repair

Current materials used to fill bone defects (ceramics, cement) either lack strength or do not induce bone repair. The use of biodegradable polymers such as PLA may promote patient healing by stimulating the production of new bone in parallel with a controlled degradation of the scaffold. This projec...
