Recently, magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are gaining the attention of researchers as these
materials can provide mechanical properties comparable to natural bone. Additive …

Scaffold design necessitates the consideration of mechanical properties and fluid flow
dynamics as the main factors in the development of such materials. The mechanical …

One of the most significant parameters of the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) for 3D
printing process is the raster angle. In this study, the five different raster angles are used to …

Previous studies have found that the novel low-elastic-modulus Ti2448 alloy can
significantly reduce stress shielding and contribute to better bone repair than the …

Bone scaffolds are widely used as one of the main bone substitute materials. However,
many bone scaffold microstructure topologies exist and it is still unclear which topology to …

Titanium plates are widely used in clinical settings because of their high bone affinity.
However, owing to their high elastic modulus, these plates are not suitable for bone repair …

Over the last decade, pedicle fixation systems have evolved and modifications in spinal
fusion techniques have been developed to increase fusion rates and improve clinical …
