摘要：Porous titanium(Ti)scaffolds have been extensively utilized as bone substitute scaffolds due to their superior biocompatibility and excellent mechanical ***,naturally formed TiO2 on the surface limits fast *** biomolecules have been widely utilized to overcome this issue;however,homogeneous porous Ti scaffolds could not simultaneously deliver multiple biomolecules that have different release *** this study,functionally graded porous Ti scaffolds(FGPTs)with dense inner and porous outer parts were fabricated using a two-body combination and densification *** with growth factor(BMP-2)and antibiotics(TCH)exhibited suitable mechanical properties as bone substituting material and presented good structural *** release of BMP-2 was considerably prolonged,whereas the release of TCH was comparable to that of homogenous porous titanium scaffolds(control group).The osteogenic differentiation obtained using FGPTs was maintained due to the prolonged release of *** antimicrobial properties of these scaffolds were verified using *** in terms of prior release *** addition,various candidates for graded porous Ti scaffolds with altered pore characteristics were presented.

摘要：Cancer growth in the bone due to its random shape disables bone strength and thus changes its capacity to support body weight or muscles,which can crucially affect the quality of human life in terms of normal walking or daily *** successful patient recovery,it is necessary to remove the cancer-affected minimal bone area and quickly replace it with a biocompatible metal implant within less than 2 *** electron beam-melted Ti-6Al-4V implant was designed and applied in a patient to preserve the natural knee joint close to the bone *** developed implant fits the bone defect well,and the independent ambulatory function of the natural knee joint was restored in the patient within six weeks after surgery.A delayed fracture occurred six months after the successful replacement of cancer-affected bone with Ti-6Al-4V implant at the proximal meshed junction of the implant because of a minor downward ***,mechanical,and computational analyses were conducted for the fractured area to find the main reason for the delayed *** findings pertaining to the mechanical and material investigation can help realize the safe implantation of the three-dimensionally printed titanium implant to preserve the natural joints of patients with massive bone defects of the extremities.
