Popis: | For years, mechanical fixators, grafts and cements have provided a surgical solution to bone injuries. However, the inherent restrictions of these treatments have prompted the search for newer options that can fully repair bone and restore its function. But, what are these approaches? What is the future of bone repair? Tissue engineering has stepped up efforts to tackle this difficult topic. |
