ABSTRACT
Surface chemistry and mechanical stability determine the osteogenic capability of bone implants. The development of high-strength bioactive scaffolds for in-situ repair of large bone defects is challenging because of the lack of satisfying biomaterials. In this study, highly bioactive Ca-silicate (CSi) bioceramic scaffolds were fabricated by additive manufacturing and then modified for pore-wall reinforcement. Pure CSi scaffolds were fabricated using a direct ink writing technique, and the pore-wall was modified with 0%, 6%, or 10% Mg-doped CSi slurry (CSi, CSi-Mg6, or CSi-Mg10) through electrostatic interaction. Modified CSi@CSi-Mg6 and CSi@CSi-Mg10 scaffolds with over 60% porosity demonstrated an appreciable compressive strength beyond 20 MPa, which was ~2-fold higher than that of pure CSi scaffolds. CSi-Mg6 and CSi-Mg10 coating layers were specifically favorable for retarding bio-dissolution and mechanical decay of scaffolds in vitro. In-vivo investigation of critical-size femoral bone defects repair revealed that CSi@CSi-Mg6 and CSi@CSi-Mg10 scaffolds displayed limited biodegradation, accelerated new bone ingrowth (4-12 weeks), and elicited a suitable mechanical response. In contrast, CSi scaffolds exhibited fast biodegradation and retarded new bone regeneration after 8 weeks. Thus, tailoring of the chemical composition of pore-wall struts of CSi scaffolds is beneficial for enhancing the biomechanical properties and bone repair efficacy.
