Research progress on biological performance of triply periodic minimal surface bone scaffolds
The number of patients with bone defects caused by trauma and diseases has been increasing year by year.The treatment of bone defects remains a major challenge in clinical practice.Currently,the main treatment methods include autologous bone grafting and allogeneic bone grafting,but their application is hampered by several limitations.In recent years,bone scaffolds have attracted much attention as a research hotspot for bone defect repair.Among them,the triply periodic minimal surface(TPMS)bone scaffold is one of the popular choices for constructing bone scaffolds,and its biological performance has become a focus of current research.Parameters such as permeability,surface area ratio,biocompatibility,and degradability are considered the key determinants affecting the biological performance of TPMS bone scaffolds.This article reviews the research progress on the biological performance of TPMS bone scaffolds.
