快速成型技术在骨组织工程中的应用进展

Research progress of rapid prototyping techniques in bone tissue engineering

慢性骨髓炎是骨科常见疾病,由于常有死骨和窦道形成,其治疗非常困难。骨组织工程的快速发展,为其治疗提供了新方法,快速成型(rapid prototyping,RP)技术是其中一种先进的制造技术,可以改变孔隙率和微孔的大小,从而适应不同组织工程材料的需要。本文就几种常见的快速成型技术在骨组织工程中的应用做一综述。

Chronic osteomyelitis is a common orthopaedic disease. Due to the sequestrum and sinus formation,its treatment is very difficult. Advancement of bone tissue engineering provides a new method for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis. Rapid prototyping is one of the advanced manufacturing technology, and it can change the porosity and pore sizes to accommodate dif- ferent tissue engineering materials needs. This article will do a review of several common rapid prototyping technologies in bone tissue engineering.
