Development of Composite Scaffolds for Load-Bearing Segmental Bone Defects

Figure 2

Diagram showing material (top) and biological (bottom) properties of ultimate regenerative bone scaffolds. It is necessary for engineered scaffolds to have both of these properties to promote bone growth. One class of properties alone is not sufficient to promote bone growth in a timely manner. Data originated from [21, 23, 24, 28, 38–42].
