Treatment of Critical-Size Femoral Bone Defects with Chitosan Scaffolds Produced by a Novel Process from Textile Engineering

Treatment of Critical-Size Femoral Bone Defects with Chitosan Scaffolds Produced by a Novel Process from Textile Engineering

The purpose of this study was to investigate, in vitro and in vivo, the suitability of chitosan (CHS) scaffolds produced by the net-shape-nonwoven (NSN) technology, for use as bone graft substitutes in a critical-size femoral bone defect in rats. For in vitro investigations, scaffolds made of CHS, m...
