The hip joint implant once put inside the femur is expected to deliver an average life span of ～25 years. Its premature failure is highly painful to the patient as for the removal of stem cemented inside the femur; the bone at times needs to be slit for the implant removal and ...
To detect the effect of the scaffold on cell function in vitro, GFP-labeled bone marrow stromal stem cells were inoculated into the scaffold and subjected to a series of assessments. First, we performed confocal fluorescence imaging of the scaffolds inoculated with cells at different time points ...
the scaffold surface must have a lattice structure that allows for convenient placement of the filling materials inside the device during surgery. Specialized metal implants can be used for such reconstruction, providing a suitable scaffold for bone defect repair. Using image processing technology togethe...
