Individual bone implants whose structure resembles that of the natural bone can now be produced quite easily. First, a simulation program calculates the bone's internal structure and porosity, then a ...

Researchers at UNSW Canberra are exploring whether 3D printing can help close that gap. Their work focuses on biodegradable ...

Researchers have made a new discovery about how seemingly minor aspects of the internal structure of bone can be strengthened to withstand repeated wear and tear, a finding that could help treat ...

You may not think of your bones as buildings, but researchers do. A team from Cornell University, Purdue University and Case Western Reserve University believes that by studying the internal structure ...

Researchers from UNSW Canberra have developed a new 3D-printed implant that could change how fractures and bone injuries are ...

UNSW develops new 3D printed bone implant - bringing personalized, biodegradable implants one step closer to reality.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an inorganic mineral present in human bone and teeth. It plays a role in the structural strength of bone and in bone regeneration. While it occurs naturally in bone, healthcare ...

The 26 bones of the foot consist of eight distinct types, including the tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges, cuneiforms, talus, navicular, and cuboid bones. The skeletal structure of the foot is similar ...
