  But even bones have limits. In cases of severe fractures or defects caused by tumors, surgeons will often implant bone grafts to act as a kind of temporary scaffolding to guide the bone toward repair.

The article from Popular Science discusses a groundbreaking development in medical science where researchers have created a 3D-printed material inspired by coral, which has the potential to heal bone injuries. This innovative material mimics the porous structure of coral, which naturally supports bone growth due to its calcium carbonate composition. The 3D-printed coral-like material is designed to be biocompatible, promoting bone regeneration by providing a scaffold that bone cells can grow on and through. This approach could revolutionize treatments for bone fractures, osteoporosis, and other bone-related conditions by offering a material that not only supports but actively encourages bone healing. The material's design allows for customization to fit individual patient needs, potentially reducing recovery times and improving outcomes in orthopedic surgeries.
