Modeling technology and application of repairing bone defects based on rapid prototyping

Abstract

Now some people suffer from the bone defects for various reasons, and how to solve this problem has become a hot topic internationally in the field of tissue engineering. By the analysis of all kinds of the bone defects, an all-purpose approach using bionic bone scaffold to repair the bone defects is proposed in this paper to help the doctors to diagnose the state of the bone defect illness with the real models manufactured by the rapid prototyping technology. Meanwhile, a clinic application is given to prove the feasibility of this approach. © 2006 International Federation for Information Processing.
