Goodbye Metal Plates! 3D Printing of Permanent Artificial Bones Achieves Large Segmental Mandibular Bone Regeneration
Repairing large bone defects caused by mandibular tumor resection or severe trauma poses challenges. The traditional method of “autologous bone grafting + metal plate fixation” has issues such as donor site damage, stress shielding, and imaging interference, while absorbable scaffolds struggle to achieve synchronized osteogenesis and degradation.Recently, a team led by Professor Jeremy M. Crook … Read more
