Efficacy of a novel polylactic acid/nanoclay (NK-75) biodegradable composite scaffold in healing critical-size bone defects: an experimental study in a rabbit ulnar model

Abstract Background Critical-size bone defects remain a formidable challenge in orthopaedic surgery. Biodegradable polymer scaffolds represent a promising alternative to autologous bone grafting, but conventional polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds exhibit limited osteoconductivity a...
