-- Recently published as a case report in the Journal of Personalized Medicine
- Philipp Mommsen, successfully used a customized, resorbable bone replacement scaffold produced by BellaSeno to reconstruct a 14 cm segmental bone defect of the radial shaft after third degree open infected fracture due to traumatic gunshot injury.
- Following six further operations and systemic antibiotic treatment to achieve bacterial eradication of the surgical field, bone reconstructive surgery was performed at Hannover Medical School using BellaSeno’s resorbable scaffold in conjunction with an autologous bone graft from the medullary cavity of the femoral bone.
