Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bone tissue engineering scaffold technology, and in particular to a splicable cubic bone tissue engineering scaffold. Background Technology
[0002] Bone tissue possesses a certain capacity for self-healing, but when the size of the defect exceeds a critical threshold, bone defect healing and functional recovery must be intervened clinically. Autologous bone grafting, allogeneic bone grafting, and vascularized fibular grafting are currently common methods for treating large bone defects. While these methods have achieved some clinical efficacy, autologous bone grafting is a "healing through injury" approach that sacrifices healthy bone tissue, and its limited availability severely restricts its clinical application. Allogeneic or xenogeneic bone grafting also faces risks such as immune rejection and infection. Therefore, developing effective alternatives to autologous bone grafts and establishing novel strategies for bone defect repair are urgent clinical challenges.
[0003] With the continuous development of biomaterials science and additive manufacturing technology, bone tissue engineering is expected to replace natural bone grafts and become a feasible solution to the challenges of bone defect treatment. Scaffolds can fill the defect site and provide mechanical support in the early stages of bone defect treatment, while also providing structural support for cells and guiding the ingrowth of new tissue.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Example
[0025] like Figures 1-4As shown, the present invention discloses a splicable cubic bone tissue engineering scaffold comprising a main body 1. A slot 17 is provided at the top of the main body 1, and a movable groove 18 is provided on one side of each slot 17. Connecting blocks 6 are fixed to both sides of the bottom of the main body 1, and splicing blocks 7 are fixed to the bottom of each connecting block 6. A limiting block 13 is fixed to one side of each splicing block 7, and a limiting groove 12 is provided at the top of each limiting block 13. Assembly blocks 16 are fixed to the top of both sides of the main body 1. A shaft 15 is installed inside each assembly block 16. The shaft 15 has an outer... Each side wall is movably provided with a limiting ring 14, and each end of the limiting ring 14 is provided with a mounting hole 4. The cross-section of the splicing block 7 is smaller than the cross-section of the slot 17, and the splicing block 7 and the slot 17 form an engaging structure. The cross-section of the limiting ring 14 is larger than the cross-section of the limiting block 13, and the limiting ring 14 and the limiting block 13 form an engaging structure, making the splicing between the two main bodies 1 more stable. There are four sets of splicing blocks 7, and the four sets of splicing blocks 7 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the main body 1, making the splicing between the two main bodies 1 tighter.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, insert the splicing block 7 at the bottom of the first main body 1 into the slot 17 at the top of the second main body 1, so that the first main body 1 and the second main body 1 are engaged together. Then, flip the limiting rings 14 on both sides of the second main body 1 in sequence so that they are engaged into the limiting grooves 12 inside the limiting block 13 and engaged together, so that the two sets of main bodies 1 can be spliced together.
[0027] The interior of the main body 1 is uniformly provided with holes 2. The interior of the main body 1 is uniformly fixed with first small beams 19. The second small beams 20 and third small beams 21 are uniformly fixed between the first small beams 19. The surface of the main body 1 is uniformly provided with rough particles 22. There are several first small beams 19, second small beams 20 and third small beams 21. The several first small beams 19, second small beams 20 and third small beams 21 are distributed at equal intervals inside the main body 1, forming multiple scaffolds inside the main body 1, which is conducive to osteoblasts crawling and replacing bone formation.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the main body 1 is uniformly provided with pores 2, the pore diameter of which is 300μm, which can help osteoblasts grow in and angiogenic cells infiltrate inward. At the same time, the first trabeculae 19, the second trabeculae 20 and the third trabeculae 21 are provided inside the main body 1, which is conducive to osteoblasts crawling and replacing bone formation. Furthermore, the surface of the main body 1 is provided with rough particles 22, which is conducive to osteoblast adhesion and proliferation.
[0029] Both sides of the main body 1 are fixed with fixing plates 3, and one side of the fixing plate 3 is fixed with a retaining ring 8. The retaining ring 8 is provided with a retaining hole 10 inside. The retaining rod 9 is movably installed inside the retaining hole 10. The upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the retaining rod 9 are movably installed with locking sleeves 5. The inner side wall of the locking sleeve 5 is fixed with a threaded sleeve 11. The upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the retaining rod 9 are evenly provided with external threads. The retaining rod 9 and the threaded sleeve 11 form a threaded connection, which makes the locking of the retaining rod 9 more stable and makes the splicing between the two main bodies 1 more secure.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, after multiple main body 1s are spliced together, a reinforcing rod 9 is taken and inserted into the retaining ring 8 on one side of the first and second main body 1s. The locking sleeve 5 is then threaded together with both ends of the reinforcing rod 9 to limit the position of the reinforcing rod 9, thereby reinforcing the splicing of the first and second main body 1s through the main body 1s.
[0031] Working principle: In use, the main body 1 can be made of materials such as biaxial calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, PLGA, and PLA, which have certain degradation properties. When using it, several main bodies 1 are first spliced together according to actual needs. During splicing, the splicing block 7 at the bottom of the first main body 1 is inserted into the slot 17 at the top of the second main body 1. The limiting ring 14 is then flipped to engage with the limiting groove 12 inside the limiting block 13, thus splicing the two sets of main bodies 1 together. Multiple main bodies 1 can be spliced together according to the above operation to meet corresponding usage requirements. After multiple main bodies 1 are spliced together, the reinforcing rod 9 is taken and engaged with the retaining ring 8 on one side of the first and second main bodies 1. The locking sleeve 5 is then threaded together with both ends of the reinforcing rod 9 for positioning. Thus, the splicing of the first and second main bodies 1 is reinforced by the main body 1. In use, the main body 1 provides mechanical support and structural support for cells, guiding the growth of new tissue.
[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
