Abstract
The present invention relates to the unexpected discovery of 3D printed biomimetics of growth plate cartilage and methods using the same for the treatment of growth plate defects. In certain embodiments, the methods prevent the growth of bony bars at the site of growth plate injury, thereby preventing growth arrest and/or deformity.
