Abstract
Large bone defects represent substantial challenges in medical science. Current treatments, although effective, are fraught with complications and multiple operations. Periodic medical check-ups can provide crucial information on the healing process, but to prevent frequent complications, true real-time monitoring yielding timely data is essential. The Smart Bone Regeneration (SBR) project (EU grant No. 874896) unveils a revolutionary solution for managing bone defects through a biocompatible, flexible, and wireless sensor system, embedded within a 3D-printed implant. While the 3D imprinted scaffold is resorbed over time by the regrowing bone, the sensor system is designed to monitor bone regeneration and implant acceptance in real-time.
