Abstract:
Transplantation of bone implants is currently recognized as one of the effective means treating bone defects. Biodegradable polyester/bioceramics composites combine good mechanical and degradable properties of biodegradable polyester with the osteogenic activity of bioceramics, thereby providing a new alternative for bone implant materials. Bone tissue engineering accelerates bone defect repair by simulating the bone microenvironment. The fabrication of biodegradable polyester/bioceramics composites into bone tissue engineering scaffolds can further accelerate the process of bone repair, and the introduction of 3D printing technology enables the preparation of biodegradable polyester/bioceramics bone tissue engineering scaffolds more precise, reproducible, and flexible, which exhibits very promising development. This review presents physical properties of bone tissue engineering scaffolds, summarizes the strategies from domestic and foreign scholars to improve the performance of bone tissue engineering scaffolds based on biodegradable polyester/bioceramics composite in recent years. Besides, the future development perspectives in this field are proposed in the field of research.
