Abstract:
Osteoconductive bone scaffolds are increasingly used today for regeneration of bone defects. Research is mainly focused on the scaffold material, its macro and micro architecture and mechanical properties. The mechanical environment and the optimal instrumentation, used to protect and enhance bone regeneration, are multifactorial issues and have not yet received the appropriate attention by researchers in the field.
