Performance of 3D printed prefabricated flap during muscle implantation. (a) CT scan of bone growth (blue) on scaffold (yellow) after 2 months of implantation in the latissimus dorsi muscle. A total of 4.5 cm3 of bone grew localized on the scaffold after 2 months in the muscle. (b) composite vascularized bone/soft tissue construct on surgical table prior to transplant. Vascular pedicle for microvascular hookup is outlined. Construct is 11cm × ~6cm by 2cm.
