Abstract
Bone defects are a common problem in healthcare today. When the damage is too extensive, the human body is not able to heal itself. Different solutions are available, but they all have limitations. Therefore, the search for a solution to overcome these limitations is important. In this theses a way to create a scaffold out of seperate crumpled elements is explored. Mechanical and morphological properties are examined.
