Influence of Porosities of 3D Printed Titanium Implants on the Tensile Properties in a Rat Tendon Repair Model
Tendon repair utilizing implants with 700µm and 1000µm pores exhibited similar load to failure as controls. Using a defined pore structure at the attachment points of tendons to implants may allow predictable tendon ingrowth onto/into an implant at the time of revision arthroplasty.
