Revolutionizing Bone Grafting: A Survey of 3D Printed Solutions
Abstract: Due to the limits of conventional grafts, large bone deficiencies resulting from illness or trauma continue to be a significant clinical challenge. Autografts, while osteoconductive and osteoinductive, are limited by donor availability and morbidity, and allografts/xenografts carry risks of immune rejection and disease transmission. In contrast, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) enables fabrication of patient-specific bone scaffolds with controlled architecture, composition, and bioactivity. Using techniques, like selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography …
