| Summary: | Different porous structures were studied through finite element analysis and then optimal porous structure was selected for the orthopedic applications. The optimal Voronoi structure was designed and fabricated using 3D printing. The mechanical properties and osseointegration ability were both investigated. The mechanical tests showed that the tensile strength, compressive strength and bending strength of Voronoi structures were obviously higher than that of the human bone, and the modulus of Voronoi structures were similar to human bone. In addition, the animal experimental results exhibited that obvious bone ingrowth was found from Month 1 to Month 6. This study provides some theoretical references for the orthopedic application of porous structures. |
