The success of bone substitutes used to repair bone defects such as critical sized defects depends on the architecture of the porous biomaterial. The architectural parameters and …
Advances introduced by additive manufacturing have significantly improved the ability to tailor scaffold architecture, enhancing the control over microstructural features. This has led …
Bone tissue has an astonishing self-healing capacity yet only for non-critical size defects (< 6 mm) and clinical intervention is needed for critical-size defects and beyond that along with …
Various types of grafts have been traditionally used to restore damaged bones. In the late 1960s, a strong interest was raised in studying ceramics as potential bone grafts due to their …
