ABSTRACT

Keywords: orthopedic surgery, patient outcomes, tissue regeneration, tissue scaffolds, biocompatibility, tissue engineering, osteoblast adhesion, electrospun nanofibers, tendon regeneration, cartilage regeneration, nanoscale surface roughness

Similar to the way Dr. Kuntscher’s introduction of intramedullary fixation devices revolutionized fracture care during World War II, nanotechnology has the potential to create a new wave of innovation that may ultimately change the standard of care for patients [1].
