Bone Formation Following Implantation of Titanium Sponge Rods into Humeral Osteotomies in Dogs: A Histological and Histometrical Study

Abstract

The Ti foam exhibited good biocompatibility, and its application resulted in improved maintenance of bone height compared with control sites. The Ti foam in a rod design exhibited bone ingrowth properties suitable for further exploration in other experimental situations.

Effects of structural property and surface modification of Ti6Ta4Sn scaffolds on the response of SaOS2 cells for bone tissue engineering

“…Moreover, a porous structure may also provide new bone tissue ingrowth abilities and vascularisation [9][10][11][12][13]. Therefore, there has been an increasing interest in the development of biomaterial scaffolds that display a porous structure mimicking that of the human bone in recent years [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Porous Titanium Associated with CaP Coating: In Vivo and In Vitro Osteogenic Performance

“…Amount, size, orientation and interconnectivity of the pores interfere positively with cell behavior. Studies have suggested that porous surface improves osseointegration because it provides a greater area at the implant-bone interface [1][2][3]20,23,36 . Figure 9.…”

Comparison of the Influence of Phospholipid-Coated Porous Ti-6Al-4V Material on the Osteosarcoma Cell Line Saos-2 and Primary Human Bone Derived Cells

“…Titanium scaffolds are already successfully employed in preclinical and clinical studies for bone regeneration [21]. However, the application of MIM remains rather rare compared with other more classical metalworking processes, such as selective electron beam melting [22], 3D fiber (3DF) deposition [23], and the space holder method [24]. MIM allows tailoring of material porosity (and, therefore, the E modulus) by adjusting, for example, the sizes and shapes of metal powder particles [25].…”
