Abstract:
:Current developments in computer-aided design (CAD) and solid free-form fabrication (SFF) techniques enable fabrication of scaffolds with precisely designed architectures and mechanical properties. The present study demonstrates the effect of precisely designed three-dimensional scaffold architectures on in vivo degradation. Specifically, three types of porous poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) scaffolds with variable pore sizes, strut sizes, porosities, and surface areas fabricated by indirect SFF. In addition, one experimental group of PLLA solid cylinders was fabricated. The scaffolds and cylinders were subcutaneously implanted into mice for 6, 12 and 21 weeks. The solid cylinders exhibited a faster percentage mass loss than all porous scaffolds. Among the porous scaffolds the group with the largest strut size lost percentage mass faster than the other two groups. Strong correlations between surface area and percentage mass loss were found at 12 (R(2)=0.681) and 21 (R(2)=0.671) weeks. Scaffold porosity, however, was not significantly correlated with degradation rate. Changes in molecular weight and crystallinity also resulted in changes in the chemical structures due to degradation, and the solid cylinders had faster crystallization due to more advanced degradation than the porous scaffolds. Scaffold compressive moduli decreased with degradation, but the resulting modulus was still within the lower range of human trabecular bone even after 21 weeks. The loss in compressive moduli, however, was a complex function of both degradation and the initial scaffold architecture. This study suggests that CAD and fabrication, within a given material, can significantly influence scaffold degradation profiles.
