HLHaojia LiSichuan University LLLuyang LiaoSichuan University YJYushuan JiaSichuan University

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 3D printed PEEK/HA scaffold for cranial bone regeneration.
Developed a 3D printed biomimetic scaffold using PEEK and hydroxyapatite (HA)
Conducted in vivo experiments to assess bone regeneration
Evaluated healing outcomes through imaging and histological analyses
Significantly enhanced bone regeneration observed at 12 weeks post-implantation
Histological assessments confirmed the incorporation of new bone into the scaffold
Comparative analyses showed improved outcomes compared to traditional repair methods

Abstract

The repair of critical-sized cranial defects resulting from trauma, congenital malformations, or surgery remains a significant clinical challenge. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a commonly used material for cranial defect repair in...
