Description
This thesis developed a method for designing 3D printed implants to restore bone loss. Using melt-electrospinning 3D printing technology and patient medical scan data, the researcher designed and fabricated anatomically-accurate scaffolds using biodegradable polymers to ultimately facilitate bone regeneration. The method presented was applied to three clinically-relevant case studies and can now be used for the design of a range of other implants based on patient scan data. The application and importance of this method was discussed as a key element in the biofabrication process for the fabrication of biologically-relevant, patient-specific human tissues and organs.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
