3D-printed Ti6Al4V scaffolds coated with freeze-dried platelet-rich plasma as bioactive interface for enhancing osseointegration in osteoporosis

The serious complications after arthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis is a challenge for orthopedics. Three-dimensional (3D)-printed porous titanium (pTi) alloys have the character of low stiffness, similar to cortical bone, and are seemed as promising materials in orthopedic applications, but...
