Abstract: Effective and biocompatible fixation of implants into cartilage defects has yet to be successfully achieved. [Poly-d,l-lactic acid/polyethyleneglycol/poly-d,l-lactic acid] (PDLLA-PEG) is a chondrosupportive scaffold that is photocross-linked using the visible-light photoinitiator lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP). Interestingly, LAP… read more here.

Abstract: The difference in bone stiffness with the metallic bone fixation implants increases the risk of re-fracture due to osteoporosis in the implant area. In this study, a PLA-based bio-composite bone fixation implant with controllable stiffness… read more here.
