Objective To explore a biodegradable drug?loaded composite scaffold and determine its bone regeneration and local long?term drug release ability. Methods In this study, RFP?loaded a novel poly (caprolactone)?b?poly (lactide?co?gly?colide)/β?TCP composite scaffold was produced using particle?leaching/freeze?drying technique. And the obtained composite scaffold was characterized by SEM, TGA, UV spectrophotometer, universal testing machine and so on. New Zealand rabbits were used to prepare bone defects, which was treated by the implantation of active artificial bone loaded with or without RFP. The blank group was untreated. Then the repairing effects of the materials were examined. Results The obtained porous scaf?fold has inter?connected and uniformly distributed pores, and the diameters of pores range from 200 μm to 300 μm. Many mi?cropores (10 μm to 50 μm) can be observed on the wall of macropores. The total porosity of the porous composite scaffold can reach as high as 83.4%; the β?TCP content of the scaffolds is 51.2%. Meanwhile, the addition of β?TCP avoided volume shrinkage compared with b?PLGC scaffold; Additionally, the porous composite scaffold has good compressive strength ( 240 kPa) and compressive modulus (1.0 MPa); And the drug loading of the scaffold was 3.2%,which could smoothly release drug for 63 days after a period of burst release for a week. All defects in the experimental groups were radiographically repaired. There were significant differences between the experimental groups and the control group. Conclusion RFP?loaded poly (cap?rolactone)?b?poly (lactide?co?glycolide)/β?TCP composite scaffold is expected to benefit in drug therapy and bone repair in the treatment of bone tuberculosis.
