3D-printed scaffolds use shape memory to heal infected bone defects

Teona Gherasim

Chinese Academy of Sciences Mar 4 2026 Infected bone defects arise in conditions such as osteomyelitis and post-traumatic bone infections, where microbial persistence and immune imbalance prevent effective healing. Standard treatments rely heavily on surgical debridement and high-dose antibiotics, but these methods face growing challenges from antibiotic resistance, cytotoxicity, and incomplete defect filling. Conventional bone graft materials often lack the ability to conform to dynamically
