Traumatic injuries, cancer treatment, and congenital abnormalities are often associated with abnormal bone shape or segmental bone loss. Restoration of normal structure and function in these cases requires replacement of the missing bone that may be accomplished by surgical transfer of natural tissu
This article describes preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies comparing bulk and surface hydrolysis in absorbable polymer scaffolds proposed for tissue engineering of bone. The two polymers systems used were a bulk hydrolyzing 50:50 poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and a surface hydrolyzing se
