The development of optimally performing biomaterials mimicking the natural physiological processes underlying bone repair is essential for non-healing large bone lesions. We sought to develop scaffolds that fill the lesions and improve bone healing. We tested three scaffolds comprised of varying percentages of lactide (LA), caprolactone (CL), and methacrylate produced by two-photon photopolymerization; LCM 3 (8:2; 85%), 4 (9:1; 90%), and 6 (9:1; 40%). We hypothesized that the ...
