Healthy and diabetic primary human osteoblasts exhibit varying phenotypic profiles in high and low glucose environments on 3D-printed titanium surfaces.

Abstract excerpt

Background: The revolution of orthopedic implant manufacturing is being driven by 3D printing of titanium implants for large bony defects such as those caused by diabetic Charcot arthropathy. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing of orthopedic implants, 3D printing fuses titanium powder layer-by-layer, creating a unique surface roughness that could potentially enhance osseointegration. However, the...
