Rapid Fabrication Techniques for Anatomically-Shaped Calcium Polyphosphate Substrates for Implants to Repair Osteochondral Focal Defects

The purpose of the present study is to develop techniques for manufacturing anatomically-shaped substrates of implants made from calcium polyphosphate (CPP) ceramic. These substrates have tissue-engineered cartilage growing on their top surfaces and can be used as implants for osteochondral focal d...
