Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 3D printed PEEK/HA scaffold for cranial bone regeneration.
  • Developed a 3D printed biomimetic scaffold using PEEK and hydroxyapatite (HA)
  • Conducted in vivo experiments to assess bone regeneration
  • Evaluated healing outcomes through imaging and histological analyses
  • Significantly enhanced bone regeneration observed at 12 weeks post-implantation
  • Histological assessments confirmed the incorporation of new bone into the scaffold
  • Comparative analyses showed improved outcomes compared to traditional repair methods

Abstract

The repair of critical-sized cranial defects resulting from trauma, congenital malformations, or surgery remains a significant clinical challenge. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a commonly used material for cranial defect repair in...
