In the present work porous scaffolds for trabecular bone defects replacement were studied. PLA and PLA/HA сomposites were obtained by extrusion. Scaffolds were obtained by 3D-printing by fused filament fabrication method. Long-term creep and Charpy impact tests show that PLA/HA scaffolds with the maximum force for destruction at impact of 119 N can function under a load of up to 10 MPa without shape changing and loss of mechanical properties. In vivo tests were used to investigate biocompatibility of scaffolds. The scaffolds may be used as implants for unloaded small bone defects replacement
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
