Microscale bone interlocking enhances osseointegration strength on the rough surface of 3D-printed titanium implants: experimental and finite element analysis by Tianyu Shu, Haoyu Shi, Meng Li, Yu-Chia Lin, Ang Li, Dandan Pei

“…Implants (n = 10) were surgically inserted into the femoral condyle of New Zealand rabbits. At weeks 1, 2, and 8, micro-CT and undecalcified histological sections were used to assess histological osseointegration (n = 6), whereas removal torque analysis was performed to evaluate osseointegration strength (n = 4). …”
