Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In the repair of bone defects, it is often necessary to implant the bone scaffold material to restore the corresponding tissue structure at the injury site. 3D printing technology can accurately simulate human bone morphology and can be applied to bone tissue repair and reconstruction, which provides a new solution for bone defect repair.
OBJECTIVE: To introduce the preparation technology and material selection of 3D printed bone tissue engineering scaffold, and to summarize its application in bone defect repair.
METHODS: The authors retrieved PubMed, Web of Science, Springerlink, Medline, Wanfang and CNKI databases with “3D printing materials, 3D printing technology, bone defect, bone tissue engineering, active substances, clinical application” as search terms for relevant articles published from 2009 to 2019.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with traditional manufacturing technology, the bone tissue engineering scaffold prepared by the 3D printing technology has the unique advantages of individualization, accurate internal structure and can overcome the defects such as poor controllability of the internal structure of the conventional scaffold, mismatch between the shape and the defect. The emergence of 3D printing technology provides a new solution to the problems encountered in the preparation of the above traditional bone tissue scaffold. The 3D printing technology applied to the preparation of bone tissue scaffold mainly includes fused deposition molding, selective laser sintering, and biological 3D printing with relatively large attention in recent years. At present, the more commonly used 3D-printed materials are mainly metal, bioceramic, high molecular polymer and the composite materials composed of various materials. 3D printed bone tissue scaffold can not only shorten the time of surgery and recovery in clinical bone defect treatment, but also plays an important role in preoperative diagnosis and postoperative rehabilitation.
