An integrated experimental and analytical approach for the analysis of the mechanical interaction between metal porous scaffolds and bone: implications for stress shielding in orthopedic implants

The present findings confirm that metal porous scaffolds help promote a more uniform distribution to the bone compared to full density implants. Ti6Al4V scaffolds demonstrated a more favorable mechanical interaction compared to CoCrMo. This integrated approach offers valuable insights into the design of orthopedic implants with optimized mechanical and osseointegration properties.
