Popis: Selective laser melting (SLM) titanium alloys require surface modification to achieve early bone-bonding. This study investigated the effects of solution and heat treatment to induce the sustained release of strontium (Sr) ions from SLM Ti6Al4V implants (Sr-S64). The results were compared with a control group comprising an untreated surface [SLM pure titanium (STi) and SLM Ti6Al4V (S64)] and a treated surface to induce the release of calcium (Ca) ions from SLM Ti6Al4V (Ca-S64). The surface-treated materials showed homogenous nanoscale network formation on the original micro-topographical surface and formed bone-like apatite on the surface in a simulated body fluid within 3 days. In vitro evaluation using MC3T3-E1 cells showed that the cells were viable on Sr-S64 surface, and Sr-S64 enhanced cell adhesion-related and osteogenic differentiation-related genes expression. In vivo rabbit tibia model, Sr-S64 provided significantly greater bone-bonding strength and bone-implant contact area than those in controls (STi and S64) in the early phase (2–4 weeks) after implantation; however, there was no statistical difference between Ca-S64 and controls. In conclusion, Sr solution and heat treatment was a safe and effective method to enhance early bone-bonding ability of S-64 by improving the surface characteristics and sustained delivery for Sr.
