Assessing the suitability of titanium scaffold architectures and alloy compositions for bone tissue engineering

Titanium has long been considered the ‘gold standard’ for orthopaedic implants, yet discrepancies in the elastic modulus between host bone and implant has increased the prevalence of the stress-shielding effect, and the recession of implant-adjacent bone. An effect that also propagates aseptic loose...
