Evaluation of a Bioabsorbable Scaffold and Interlocked Nail System for Segmental Bone Defect

In the current study, we designed and manufactured a scaffold and fixation system for the reconstruction of long-bone segmental defects in a rabbit tibia model. We used biocompatible and biodegradable materials, polycaprolactone (PCL) and PCL soaked with sodium alginate (PCL-Alg) to manufacture the...
