From: Recent advances in bioprinting techniques: approaches, applications and future prospects
Bone type | Porosity (%) | Pore size (μm) | Compressive strength (MPa) | Young’s modulus (GPa) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Cortical bone | 3–12 | <500 | 130–225 | 3–30 |
Cancellous bone | 50–90 | 500–1000 | 4–12 | 0.01–0.5 |
