Evaluation of 3D‐Printed Polylactic Acid as a Bone Substitute: An Animal Study in a Rat Model
The 3D-printed PLA scaffolds show promise as bone substitutes for small to moderate-sized defects due to their effective biocompatibility and osteoinductive potential. Further studies are needed to optimize their performance for larger defects, potentially enhancing their clinical application in bone repair and regeneration.
