Non-healing fractures caused by trauma, disease or tumour resection demand the use of bone grafts to support and stimulate the healing process. We sought to develop and evaluate the effect of a novel bioactive biodegradable biomaterial designed to fill large bone lesions and to improve bone healing. We used two-photon polymerised synthetic polymer scaffolds composed of lactide (LA), caprolactone (CL), and methacrylate (MA) with varying LA: CL ratio and percentage of methacryla...
