A functional mineralized collagen hydrogel to promote angiogenic and osteogenic for osseointegration of 3D-printed titanium alloy microporous scaffolds

Bone defects, resulting from trauma, inflammation, tumors, and various other factors, affect both health and quality of life. Although autologous bone transplantation is the gold-standard treatment for bone defects, it has disadvantages such as donor site limitations, prolonged surgical durations, and potential complications, necessitating the development of alternative bone tissue engineering materials. In this study, we used 3D printing technology to fabricate porous titanium implants characterized by superior biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Sodium alginate (SA) and strontium ions (Sr
