Bone disease and trauma can sometimes create defects that require more than current clinical therapies can provide for effective healing. Scaffolds that release bioactive agents such as drugs offer additional benefits in this regard in comparison to those whose main requirements are space filling an
## Abstract Polycaprolactone (PCL) was coated on porous tricalcium phosphate (TCP) scaffolds to achieve controlled protein delivery. Porous TCP scaffolds were fabricated using reticulated polyurethane foam as sacrificial scaffold with a porosity of 70โ90 vol %. PCL was coated on sintered porous TCP
