(author), Zhou, J. (author)The treatment of femoral nonunion with large segmental bone defect is still challenging. Although magnesium alloys have been considered potential materials for such a treatment, their application is limited by their fast degradation. Adding bioceramic particles into magnesium to form Mg-matrix composites is a promising strategy to adjust...journal article 2022

Dong, J. (author), Tümer, N. (author), Leeflang, M.A. (author), Taheri, P. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Zhou, J. (author)Porous biodegradable Mg and its alloys are considered to have a great potential to serve as ideal bone substitutes. The recent progress in additive manufacturing (AM) has prompted its application to fabricate Mg scaffolds with geometrically ordered porous structures. Extrusion-based AM, followed by debinding and sintering, has been recently...journal article 2022
