Key Points

This research examines how the biodegradation of bone scaffolds affects bone remodeling in critical size defects.
Finite element analysis was utilized to assess the biomechanical efficiency of scaffolds.
Comparison of Young's modulus changes between different materials was conducted.
V caused lower changes in average Young's modulus of callus compared to polymers, indicating material stiffness affects remodeling.
Findings suggest that scaffold degradation must be considered in long-term design for biomechanical efficiency.

Abstract

V caused lower changes in average Young's modulus of callus than in the case of polymers, which is caused due to its higher stiffness. This research shows the need to consider scaffold degradation when designing and analyzing their long-term biomechanical efficiency.
