Population aging is a process that is becoming more pronounced as the years go by. The results presented by the European Statistical Office predicted that by the year 2050, 30% of the population will be over 65 years of age and this leads to a high rate of bone conditions such as fractures, bone defects, osteoporosis and bone infections that require surgical intervention. The procedure to treat these conditions consists of performing autografts or implanting metal alloys coated with various compounds. However, autologous implants generate morbidity in the donor region and metallic implants are easily contaminated during surgery, leading to…
