Fig 1. Steps in the design of the bone tissue engineering surgery.
(A) Design of the bioceramic scaffold from the 3D geometry of the ovine metatarsus reconstructed by computed tomography scans. (B) 3D-printing of the hydroxyapatite structure using roboscasting. (C) Harvesting of the spongy grafting tissue from the lateral side of the contralateral humerus. (D) Implantation of the scaffold.
