The combination of multi-functional ingredients-loaded hydrogels and three-dimensional printed porous titanium alloys for infective bone defect treatment

Biomaterial with the dual-functions of bone regeneration and antibacterial is a novel therapy for infective bone defects. Three-dimensional (3D)-printed porous titanium (pTi) benefits bone ingrowth, but its microporous structure conducive to bacteria reproduction. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel...
