Exploring the Use of Medical 3D Printing in Bone Repair and Regeneration
With the advancement of science and technology, 3D printing technology has become one of the important tools in modern manufacturing and medical fields, especially in the field of bone and joint surgery. Bones have strong self-repair ability, but they cannot completely repair large bone defects and articular cartilage damage caused by trauma, infection, aging, etc. Allogeneic bone transplantation and artificial bone transplantation are prone to immune rejection. Autologous bone is the most ideal mater......
