A Biomimetic Titanium Scaffold With and Without Magnesium Filled for Adjustable Patient-Specific Elastic Modulus.

This study focuses on determining the effective Young's modulus (stiffness) of various lattice structures for titanium scaffolds filled with magnesium and without magnesium. For a specific patient implant the success depends on adequate elastic modulus, which helps proper osteointegration. The Mg-filled portion in the Ti scaffold is expected to dissolve with time as the bone growth through the Ti scaffold porous cavity begins.
