Abstract: The repair of osteochondral defects is one of the major clinical challenges in orthopaedics. Well-established osteochondral
tissue engineering methods have shown promising results for the early treatment of small defects. However, less success
has been achieved for the regeneration of large defects, which is mainly due to the mechanical environment of the joint
and the heterogeneous nature of the tissue. In this study, we developed a multi-layered osteochondral scaffold to match
the heterogeneous nature of osteochondral tissue by harnessing additive manufacturing technologies and combining the
established art laser sintering and material extrusion techniques. The developed scaffold is based on a titanium and polylactic
acid matrix-reinforced collagen “sandwich” composite system. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the scaffold
were examined, and its safety and efficacy in the repair of large osteochondral defects were tested in an ovine condyle model.
The 12-week in vivo evaluation period revealed extensive and significantly higher bone in-growth in the multi-layered scaffold
compared with the collagen–HAp scaffold, and the achieved stable mechanical fixation provided strong support to the healing
of the overlying cartilage, as demonstrated by hyaline-like cartilage formation. The histological examination showed that
the regenerated cartilage in the multi-layer scaffold group was superior to that formed in the control group. Chondrogenic
genes such as aggrecan and collagen-II were upregulated in the scaffold and were higher than those in the control group. The
findings showed the safety and efficacy of the cell-free “translation-ready” osteochondral scaffold, which has the potential to
be used in a one-step surgical procedure for the treatment of large osteochondral defects.
