TLDR
In this study, coagulant-assisted foaming was utilized for the fabrication of porous Ti6Al4 V using egg-white foam, and Quantitative assessment of bone ingrowth by micro-computed tomography revealed that there was an approximately 52% higher bone formation and more than 90%Higher bone penetration at the center of femoral defects in rabbit when implanted with Ti6 al4 V foam.
