The porous structure is crucial in bone tissue engineering for promoting osseointegration. Among various structures, triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) -Gyroid has been extensively studied due to its superior mechanical and biological properties. However, previous studies have given limited attention to the impact of unit cell size on the biological performance of scaffolds.

Antimicrobial resistance and impaired bone regeneration are the great challenges in treating infected bone defects. Its recurrent and resistant nature, high incidence rate, long-term hospitalization, and high medical costs have driven the efforts of the scientific community to develop new therapies to improve the situation. Considering the complex microenvironment and persistent mechanisms mediated by resistant bacteria, it is crucial to develop an implant with enhanced osseointegration and sustained and effective infection clearance effects.

Bone defects are difficult to treat clinically and most often require bone grafting for repair. However, the source of autograft bone is limited, and allograft bone carries the risk of disease transmission and immune rejection. As tissue engineering technology advances, bone replacement materials are playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of bone defects.

Laser-powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) has enabled production of customised skeletal implants that incorporate porous lattices structures to enable bone ingrowth. However, the inherent surface roughness of PBF-LB, characterised by partially adhered particles and undulating sub-topography, remains a barrier to adoption. As such PBF-LB surfaces require several time-consuming post-processing steps, nevertheless, conventional finishing techniques are often limited by geometrical part complexity, making them unsuitable for porous PBF-LB parts.

Background: Implant fixation is often the cornerstone of musculoskeletal surgical procedures performed to provide bony fixation and/or fusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate how different design features and manufacturing methods influence implant osseointegration and mechanical properties associated with fixation in a standardized model in cancellous bone of adult sheep.
Methods: We evaluated the performance of three titanium alloy implants: (A) iFuse-TORQ implant; (B) Fenestrated Sacroiliac Device; and (C) Standard Cancellous Bone Screw in the cancellous bone of the distal femur and proximal tibia in 8 sheep.
