Effects of Pore Size Parameters of Titanium Additively Manufactured Lattice Structures on the Osseointegration Process in Orthopedic Applications: A Comprehensive Review

Architected materials are increasingly applied in form of lattice structures to biomedical implant design for the purpose optimizing implant’s biomechanical properties. Since porous affects resulting properties implant, its parameters being investigated by numerous research articles. The design-related unit cells a strut-architected material mainly pore size and strut thickness. Until today, researchers have not been able decide on perfect values cell osseointegration process tissue regeneration. Based vivo vitro experiments conducted field, suggested range where is acceptable status. present study presents comprehensive review carried out until experimenting proposing optimum generate most suitable structure procedure presented orthopedic applications. Additional recommendations, gaps, instructions improve selection also discussed.
