During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected and injured. Now picture this: Surgeons can now print a new piece of bone ...

Anyone who has recovered from a broken bone knows these nifty appendages have a remarkable ability to repair themselves. But even bones have limits. In cases of severe fractures or defects caused by ...

Medical researchers have developed a way to use 3D printers to help create new bone mass. Using "bone-bridges", surgeons can implant a printed piece into a patient, which allows new bone to grow ...

Elizabeth Diederichs, University of Waterloo PhD candidate, holding a miniature skull that the research group 3D-printed using the new material. A research team from the University of Waterloo has ...

Surgeons could soon order custom-fitted bone printed on demand for repairing fractured or brittle bones in human patients. A 3D printer has already created new, bone-like material capable of ...

3D printers may one day become a permanent fixture of the operating theatre after scientists showed they could print bone-like structures containing living cells. Scientists from UNSW Sydney have ...

Ten years ago, it wasn’t possible for most people to use 3D technology to print authentic copies of human bones. Today, using a 3D printer and digital scans of actual bones, it is possible to create ...

Scientists have developed a tool made from a modified glue gun that can 3D print bone grafts directly onto fractures and defects during surgery. The tool, described September 5th in the Cell Press ...
