New paper from Dr. David Nedrelow's PhD project work in our lab at OU! David 3D-printed a scaffold to withstand compression in one direction, and shear in another, intended to help in joints with hinge-like movement such as the knee, elbow, or TMJ.

The cartilaginous surfaces in ginglymus (hinge) joints such as the knee, elbow, and the ginglymoarthrodial temporomandibular joint (TMJ) primarily function under unidirectional shear and orthogonal compression. Regenerative medicine approaches to treat injured or arthritic joints include biphasic sc...
