Designing Resorbable Scaffolds for Bone Defects
Abstract
The next frontier of orthopedic implants are resorbable devices. Tissue engineering advances have created a demand for scaffolds that can facilitate biologic regeneration. Scaffolds that will degrade over time with the infiltration of host cells are of particular interest. Several principles have been identified as desirable design features for such scaffolds. Furthermore, the era of 3D printing has ushered new possibilities for scaffold production that brings this technology closer to market use. This article explores the future of the design and manufacture of resorbable scaffolds.
